I'm Not perfect and I am ok with that

So I have been thinking about what it means to be Supermom. And you know what, it doesn't mean anything unless Nathan sees me as that. I struggle with the fact that I don't get it all done. But then I sit back and realize that I don't need to.


Being Supermom doesn't mean the house is clean all the time, it doesn't mean that I wake up each morning bright and early with the best attitude, showered and ready to start my day. It means that each morning when Nathan wakes up, I am there with a kiss and a hug. It means that each day we are on the floor reading books, putting puzzles together, playing trains, getting wet and dirty outside. To me I am Supermom to Nathan because I am teaching him about life. And how to live life with Jesus as the leader. He may not say a lot or be able to recite songs, but he knows how to help, how to share, how to love. Nathan is learning these things because we are teaching him these things. I am Supermom to Nathan because he thinks I am.


I love that Nathan sees me as some one that is teaching him boundaries and showing him that life is fun and exciting and its centered around Christ. I love prayer time with Nathan, I love how he dances to children's Sunday School songs, and I love how he is ready and willing to love us back. I am not perfect and Nathan is not perfect. But I love that Nathan sees me as Supermom and I don't need to be seen as that by anyone else!

Belly Button Junk!

That's right! You heard me. How in the world do you clean out the build up in the belly button of a toddler that is super duper ticklish? Well I think I am figuring it out. And if you read this and have your own advise, I would love to know what it is!

Last night at bath time I figured out the best way I can clean Nathan's belly button to the best of my ability. About an hour after dinner is bath time. Just about every night. And Nathan usually has this huge belly that sticks far out. So much that his already outie belly button is pushed out even more.  And with that I can get a glimpse of the junk being pushed out! So I take a wash cloth and scrub as much as I can with soap and water until Nathan fights me off. I do that through out his whole bath and I am starting to see a cleaner looking belly button!

Hope this didn't gross you out too much!
