Cool Mom.

Have you ever wondered if you will be a cool mom? Or a mom that's a stick in the mud with lots of rules and no fun? I want to be a cool mom.

See I have a cool mom. She taught us to love music, dance, act silly, and have water fights(in the house). She let us make snow ice cream, make melted crayon pictures, and use our imaginations in any way we saw fit. She allowed us to be individuals. She let me color my hair, paint my nails any color I wanted, and date boys that were probably bad news. She made all of our friends feel welcome in our house and never made anyone feel like they didn't belong. Our house was the place to be growing up. She was (and still is) amazing. I want to be that way.

This week I've been teaching Talent lots of funny things. He has been dancing like a little machine and it's hilarious! He also learned to growl, and while some people think it isn't appropriate, I think it's hilarious! I also taught him how to "chest bump" this week. Yes, I know, it's not the most awesome thing to teach a one year old but it's pretty funny to see him take off running at me when I'm sitting in the floor just to bounce off of my chest with his own. I want him to learn fun things, be an individual. I want him to be independent and strong. I want my relationship with him to be as great and fun as my relationship with my mom is. I want to remember not to sweat the small things and teach him how to have fun no matter what others think. I want to be the cool mom. I think I'm on the right track. I have a pretty amazing kid. I don't know what I'd do with out him. I hope he knows how much he is loved and just how much he has truly changes my life.
