Don't get me wrong it is not a bad thing, it is just a strange thing. This is probably a common process for most women but it does not make it any less scary.
For example, when we were out and about the other day, I noticed that there was some dried up food on my daughter's face that I must have missed before we left home. So what do I do? The most logical thing of course - lick your finger and use the saliva to wipe the spot of her face. Yikes! Definitely something that my mother would do, and in public no less. So there is proof that I am turning into my mother slowly but surely.
There are other little mannerisms that I have inherited from my mother that she probably inherited from her own mother, so the gift must be passed on. My poor daughters, heaven help them for they are descendents of goofy women.
Motherhood is definitely an interesting role and full of adventures. Now that I am a mother, I must say that I respect my own mum a million times more. If she ever reads this blog, "I love you Mummy! Hugs and Kisses and thank you for the sacrifices that you made for me".
But anyway, I remember several times when my daughter was ill and throwing up, I would turn her toward me so that she would puke on me rather than on my new couch! ha ha. Perfectly logical of course to let a child vomit all over you to save your couch and carpet. It should be called motherhood mania :) Seriously though, I can always take my clothes off and throw them in the washing machine then jump into the shower. However, I cannot take my couch and throw it in the machine can I?
Also, times without number I have caught myself picking my daughter's nose for her when I see dried up boogers in there. Funny because her dad does it too sometimes. Oh the selfless things we do for our children!
I think for the first time, I understand what is meant by unconditional love. If God sees us as children, I now understand even more why Jesus died for us on a cross. Such love is so powerful, so selfless, truly unconditional.
