With so much in parenting, one of the greatest skills I’m learning is how to manage our expectations. What you can’t see in this picture, is a vacation hit with a 103 degree fever on the first day, a family wedding missed, and many hours spent in bed at a hotel. It’s easy to feel angry, frustrated, and disappointment. But once I came to understand in my mind that these are all just part of our memories, our family story, it somehow melts those expectations away and clears the way to just live as we are, with the highs and the lows, and whatever unfolds. To a full summer ahead, together ❤️
