The Special Bond

There’s just something about having a baby girl. I”m not exactly sure what it is, trust me I love my first born, a son, more than anything, but my daughter well she and I just have something special. Sure, she’s only 15 months old now, but already I know our relationship will be an important one in both of our lives. At least that is what I hope for, since I have that special relationship with my mom, and my mom has it with hers, and her mom had it with hers. It’s a generational thing that I hope will continue down the line.

Mom / Daughter RelationshipI can only imagine the memories we will share throughout the years. Right now, she merely loves to sit with me in the recliner right beside me as she drinks her morning sippy cup of milk, or cuddling in bed. Later, I”m sure it’ll be sitting with me as I put on my makeup, wanting some of her own as I used to with my mom, or sharing ice cream after a first date that ended less perfect than expected. Late night chats about her first love, wiping of tears when he breaks her heart, even proud moments like when she aces her history test or walks the aisle to accept Jesus as her Savior. All these things I look forward to, with anticipation.

What about you, do you have a relationship with your daughter that pulls at your heartstrings? Is this something you experienced as a child or something you are being sure to create for your daughter because it was something you lacked???

Potty Talk

pottyThere are many of you moms out there who will read this title and thing, “potty training” and though I am not far away from having to train child #2 I am not quite ready to talk about it. Instead this post is going to throw you off guard a lot. It is about having conversations in the potty, the bathroom, the restroom whatever you want to or do call it.

You see when I was growing up I had a close relationship with my mom, still do, so much so that I followed her around the house talking to her most of the time. So much that when I moved out after getting married she was depresssed due to my absense. It was a difficult time for us.

Nevertheless, our time together was special. Over the years we had a bunch of “potty talks”. I sat on the potty as she bathed, or put her makeup on, or fixed her hair, or shaved her legs and I talked. I tend to be a talker, so I talked alot, but all the while these conversations were shaping our relationship, strengthening it, giving us a bond, a connection.

So, for me, potty talk was a great part of my life. How about you, do you and your daughter have “potty talks”? Maybe it is not the same, but it is something you do together that connects you….leave us a comment letting us know what it is.
