"Are you having fun being a kid today?" -- this is what I'm trying to ask her daily, as a mental cue to myself to relax (for goodness' sake!) and stop expecting perfection. I was looking over my "No More Perfect Moms" notes again today and found this gem of conviction: "We can't stand the thought of them (our kids) being less than perfect. We jump into the picture to smooth their rough corners because we fear that anything less than perfect reflects poorly on us... Don't make it about you." Yes. That lesson is for me. // Hadley instagrams from the past couple weeks

I love this. And on a rather unrelated note, my little guy has always been super tiny and has never been a good sleeper, waking up 3-4 times per night even at one year old. After reading your post about giving your littles probiotics, I've been feeding him yogurt every day (not quite the same thing, I know, but up the same alley). And guess what! HE'S SLEEPING! And gaining weight. So thanks. Thanks a million. :)
I love these photos and that question! I need to keep it in mind for when I'm teaching my preschoolers! Thanks, Summer!
