I have no idea who wrote this, but it's on a small card that I have and I just love these simple and pertinent reminders. And I am thankful that my children are full of love and grace towards me because parenting 'aint easy!If only they could all behave and interact as sweet and docile as they appear in these pictures! But then how boring would my home be...and how ever would I learn or grow as a mommy?
