I know how it is. We see all our imperfections. And we want to avoid looking at them at all costs.
We see the wrinkles, the fat rolls, the stretch marks, and the bags under our eyes.
We see the exhaustion, the weariness, and the stains on our clothes.
But do you know what our kids see when they look at these pictures?
THEY SEE US.
They see their mom, being present and loving on them.
They see the joy, the laughter, and the memories.
Our kids don’t see the things we see.
They just want us to be present and enjoying life with them.
They want to know they aren’t a burden.
They want to look back and remember the good times.
Kids don’t see the things we see. So get in the picture, mama. Your kids will grow up to thank you.
