motherhood

This morning as Canon, Elly and I were rushing out the door, I remembered I hadn't taken my iron supplement. I told Canon to wait a minute so I could take my medicine. She replied, "When I'm a mommy, I'm going to like medicine and gum." Ah...yes. The perks of adulthood: medicine and gum.

And in other motherhood news, it is my dear mother's birthday. The picture above was obviously taken a while ago, before children controlled her life. Growing up, I had a fairly narrow view of who she was. She was my mom; that was it. But now that I am an adult and a mother, I'm able to appreciate the woman she was and is apart from me. It's pretty cool. Happy Birthday, Mom.
