Literally
As I walked into the bathroom today, my daughter followed behind me happily chanting "baff" "baff". She played with her rubber duckies and splashed around in the bubbles for a while and then it was time to wash her up. Noel loves her "baffs" so I allowed her to play for a while longer. She stood up and said "mom" "mom" "mama", so I asked her if she was ready to be done. She shook her head yes,so I took her out of the tub. While I was drying her hair and putting on her fresh diaper she was already chanting "baff" again.I began to ponder on the language of a child. Sometimes they shake their heads yes, but mean no. Sometimes they say no and mean yes. A lot of times our children have no clue (yet) what is best for them. Our guidance is what helps them make the right choices.
If I were to take Noel literally with every shake of her head, I'd be one confused mama. Isn't it amazing how we don't really need to ask our children, we already know what they want. Even before they are old enough to speak. I am so blessed to have been assigned the position of being a mother. I won't be putting my two week notice in , in fact I have recently been promoted to Mother who is taken literally.
