You know who you are… your the mom that most can’t relate to, the mom that takes her job seriously. The mom that’s misunderstood more than understood. The one that stands up for what’s right and wrong. The one that is the child’s first teacher and strongest advocate. You are the REAL EXPERT of your child. You know it’s going to be a bad day long before the weather report comes on. You don’t need a crystal ball to see how things will turn out…you’re the one on the side lines with a camera snapping pictures as fast as the camera will let you…because you don’t want to miss anything! You’re also the one that cheers your child on for everything…that gives out the hugs, wipes the tears, holds the hands and kisses their noses. Your the one that listens to their hearts as they speak both silently and vocally…you’re the one that can sing that special song without opening your eyes. You know your duty and your various hats that you wear…and you can change in a moment notice (from mom to doctor to nurse to driver to tutor to personal assistant to maid to fortune teller to friend to advocate to playmate to whatever direction you may need to go) You are the transportation assistant to getting them where they need to be, the moderator with a notebook in hand. You got your education and earned your PhD in goggle…you’ve grown in to your aquired goggle education..you’ve never given up on finding the latest and greatest information. You’ve figured out which sites are worth looking at and which are not. You have your own set of key words when looking for specific items or information. You don’t just purchast toys or items with out the research…not just because these items are expensive, but you want to know that it will work for your child. You know your job better than anyone else, it’s hard to leave them with others as you know they won’t do half the job that you do…but most of all you’ve never given up since that first moment you laid eyes on your child.
