Hello there, stranger!

Hello there!

I'm back to blogging again, after a year long hiatus. 

I was going through some life changes, and now that I have become more stable (financially, mentally, and physically) I have returned to the wonderful world of blogspot! I've missed sharing the stories of my growing toddler, and I've very much missed the conversations I had with other mommas. Autumn is two and a half now, and very much so going on twenty one years old. I would have never imagined her being this goofy nor this mature. She suprises most people when they meet her because she acts so mature. Autumn is determined to be the leader of every situation- including our living situation. 

Sometimes I get so exhausted because she just DOES NOT hear me. Well... she hears me... she just pretends not to. I won't lie, I have thrown my hands up and cried face down on the couch while she sat in time out. However, I have to remember how I have chosen to raise her. I have chosen to raise her to have nothing but confidence in what she wants and who she is. So when you meet Autumn, just know that you are meeting 100% Grade A Autumn, because she chooses what she wants to do, what she wants to say, and how she wants to go about her day. She is fearless. She has no fear of anything- except fish tanks (which I'll have to discuss another time.) I admire her fearlessness but it's getting to the point where I look at her and think "Hmm... maybe just a little bit of fear may be good for her." 

Autumn will face many challenges in her life. Her mixture of ethnicity paired with the fact that she is female will present hurdles, wether she notices or not. I want her to be confident in everything that she does and everything that she is. She loves her big curly hair, and that makes me smile. She thinks she's "the most beautiful girl in the world" because her daddy says so. She thinks she's the oldest and wisest kid on the play ground, when actually she's the youngest and most petite. I am very proud of this. I am happy that she is so independent and proud of who she is, and I just hope this continues. And I hope that I have the energy to deal with it.

At the end of the day, my kid is amazing. Everyone feels that way about their child, don't they? I feel like everyone should hear about the things Autumn says or does, because it's hillarious. So I've decided to share my life with you all as readers, and I hope you enjoy reading!


Have a great day y'all!
