I guess some people dream that there child will win a booker prize, become President or win an Olympic Gold medal. I dream of non of those things for my girl, not because I don't want that for her but that I have something much more important in mind for her. I want her to be real smart, smarter than me, smarter than almost anyone I know, I want her to be emotionally smart. She already displays her emotions on the stage of our small home. I don't mind that she doesn't sing her ABC's or ran before she could walk, I don't mind if she never learns her timestable as long as she learns who she is, where she belongs and how to beleive in herself. Everyday I'm in awe of how balanced my little girl is, when she's sees rubbish on the floor she takes it to the bin, when she's finished her plate and juice, she gives it to me, when she eats she offers it to me and her bears. The stunning simplicity of how she learnt to nurture and share is beyond mere words for me. I thank the Lord for bringing people into my life to share my load and encourage me to be more like my own daughter in everything that I do. I thank the Lord to for creating me as I am so I can give Mia the tools to be Emotionally Smart. I truly am blessed and this blog may start the first page in my blessing scrapbook.

Hi Britchic,
I am also a Brit but displaced as I live in Colorado.
I stumbled on your blog and it was like reading about myself! I wish I had your gift of putting life into words. somehow you got inside my head and put it all down for me!
don't sell yourself short (I do). You are smart and obviously an exceptional mother and you have many gifts. None of us feel we can acknowledge our gifts and accept them gracefully, God gave them to us and we need to realise that they are there for us to share.
Thankyou for sharing...............
