My Teacher - Happy 6 Months Lennon

I learn patience,
I learn love,
I learn to take a step back.
I learn how to understand,
I learn how to heal,
I learn how to see things differently.

All because of her.

I learn how to let the dishes wait,
I learn how to have dirty floors,
I learn how to not fold all the laundry right away.
I learn to love movie night in,
I learn how to enjoy my couch,
I learn the Bible.
I learn how to pray more often.
I learn how to enjoy the little things in life.

I learn how to smile when I'm angry,
And how to take a deeper breath.
I learn how to jump in & out of the shower in ten minutes.
I learn that I love my hair curly!
I learn how to wait for texting while I'm driving, and how to let my house be a mess.

I learn how to laugh uncontrollably.
I learn how to be amused at little things,
I learn how to love and memorize nursery rhymes and monkey songs.

I learn all of the dimples on her face,
The blonde curly hairs on her head,
I learn the colors in her eyes,
The funny noises she makes and
what they mean.

I learn how to become a better person,
Every single day of my life.
And it is all because of my daughter.

Six months ago I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl with the love of my life at my side and it changed my life forever. Six months before that I didn't know what to do, where to live, where to turn next, or who to call my friends. I needed guidance in life. I needed a teacher. Ya know, when you're growing up you always have a teacher. A mom and dad when your little, day care and pre-school. Then you go to school, and you have your counselor a teacher and friends around you everyday. Once you're an adult you don't have a teacher every single day of your life to remind you of your daily agenda, what to do, when to do it or how.

If you're anything like me you lose touch with your guidance in life. You don't have someone there everyday to guide you. You lose your way in the world and decide that you can do it alone... Truth is, I couldn't. I was lost without my teacher and until 6 months ago I was lost.

Lennon changed my life.
She brought my closer to God,
Closer to my heart to help me find love, and the true meaning of faith, honesty and trust. Lennon brought me closer to Daniel and made me realize the true meaning of love. She brought me closer to my family, and the real friends in my life.

A teacher guides you, helps you open your eyes to a whole new meaning of something, for me that lesson and new meaning was in life. Lennon is my teacher in this new life of ours. She is the one who taught me how to be a mommy, a mother, a lover, a friend, an honest and trustworthy person, a happy person, and a believer.

Happy 6 months Lennon Danielle!
Thank you for all you've taught me,
In 6 short months you've changed me.
Mommy loves you. xo
