Epiphany

All boogers feel the same. Ok I know it sounds gross, but this struck me just now as I was helping Kate clear her nose.

It then made me think of how reliant little ones are and there's a reason why babies are made that way. Without them being 100% dependant on their parents, parents won't truly understand how hard life can be. It wouldn't be as precious if hard work needn't be put in. It wouldn't be as fulfilling if anyone could do it. Parenting is one of those things where you cannot truly be prepared no matter how hard you try to prep for it and it'd always be an uphill learning curve at every step along the way from the day you discover that you're pregnant to the day you die - your child will always be your child.

This is why some people say that you never really grow up until you have a child and it's largely because you truly experience, learn and understand responsibility.

On a side note, to the husband who is travelling for the first time since Kate was born, we'll be missing you everyday. Please be careful and enjoy yourself. Love.
