Things I’m good at:

Since becoming a mother I am
No longer 
  • a distance runner 
  • Triathlete
  • Artist
  • World traveler
  • Yogi
  • Handstander
  • Gymnast

Now I am an expert in...
  • Quiet door opening
  • Avoiding the creaks in the floors
  • Sign language with my husband so we don’t have to speak 
  • Planning meals
  • Planning play dates
  • Packing and unpacking the bags every day 
  • Cutting off crusts, sauce on the side, straw with the milk
  • Slowly, slowly, slowly laying my baby down so he doesn’t wake up
  • Rocking, bouncing, patting, shushing
