Learn to Be Awesome – From Your Kids
Posted in Take a Deep Breath on 03. Nov, 2009
I love that everywhere I go, people comment on how cool my kids are. Ok, they don’t exactly say the word “cool,” but that’s more or less the idea. My two year old will march into Costco wearing bright pink cowgirl boots, and my four year old loves to chat up little old ladies and tell them all about how big she is. My girls are awesome! They are confident and secure in who they are, and it doesn’t take much to make them happy.
Somewhere along the way, we adults seem to lose that. We go from confidently marching around in cowgirl boots, to questioning whether or not we look ok at all. Rather than chatting with strangers and being friendly to others, we rush around, ignore our neighbors, and sometimes we don’t approach people at all because we may feel self-conscious.
This post from Mom Logic made me realize that I need to take some lessons from my girls. Why not smile brightly and say hi to more people? If my two year old has no problem doing it, I think I could manage to be as polite. And if she has the confidence to pair those cowgirl pants with a bold printed dress, I can be brave enough to try some new styles as well. And let’s not forget our children’s excitement over the little things… now that’s something we could all strive for.
Check out this post – I hope you find it as enjoyable as I did!
