I don’t know if many of those in my generation would have heard of Erma Bombek.I absolutely love her sense of humor.
She once said
“Have you any idea how many children it takes to turn off one light in the kitchen? Three. It takes one to say, “What light?” and two more to say, “I didn’t turn it on”
And being a mother of three kids, I can vouch that it is true.

My children’s grandmother gave me Motherhood, second oldest profession as gift many moons ago. I read the book every now and then when I feel intimidated being a mother.
Motherhood doesn’t come with any manuals. It is a learn as you go process and the worst is, you know you screw up most of the times and still hope that you haven’t done any irreversible damage to your children or that they are scarred for life.

Yaya is in love..
very much so.
Very normal for a child of her age too..

He is French ..

Years ago, I watched a nature documentary in which the mother bird literally kicks the baby bird out of the nest to teach it to fly. 2 out of three succeeds. the unlucky one learns about the gravity.

In my case, I know my baby bird has to fly out of my nest and find her own path in the grand scheme of life.. I am just not ready. i am terrified..
