Motherhood is: Dance routines while I shower to keep the baby entertained

My daughter's need to be with me, near me or on me can be frustrating at times. Sometimes I just need space for a minute. But I keep reminding myself that this is just a phase. So, I try to turn her clinginess into a positive.

You are programmed to care for your child in a way no one else can, mama

That moment when your baby was placed in your arms, you became an expert: an expert on how to parent your particular child. Whether or not you were academically trained—your body, mind, and soul became intimately, mysteriously, beautifully connected to your baby.

Try not to worry–it will get easier. Eventually, your kids will even help you bend and reach toward whatever it is you need them to.
