Observing

I have been helping moms and babies for almost 40 years.  I nursed my babies and supported and mentored other women who were learning to feel confident in their mothering.

I think about the babies.  Their sweet, chubby cheeks.  Their early smiles.  All of the same stages and progress I have been through with my own babies.

The last few weeks, through the wonders of the internet, specifically Facebook, I have been looking at back to school pictures.

I marvel at how fast my own children have turned into adults- 4 of them in their 30s. 

All of these kids on Facebook standing, posing for their first day pictures.  "My" babies.   Look at that!   It really makes me smile!
