Humbling

If parenting wasn't already such a humbling experience for me... this would have cinched the deal. Here's a new favorite quote I recently discovered. I tend to pick quotes that inspire me to be a better person. This one certainly does.

"Your children will become what you are, so be what you want them to be."
-David Bly

I already have proof that the little dude watches my every move and is ready at a moments notice to copy my behavior. In fact, I've been able to attribute, all to many times, one of his out-of-sorts episodes to MY behavior.

I definitely want to be a good example for my little man! I've always like the WWJD (what would Jesus do) bracelets, I used to wear one often as a teenager. I think as a mom now I could use a WWBDTTY bracelet :) (what will Benjamin do thanks to you)!
