Whenever I take my kid to the doctor they give us a folder of various flyers and handouts pertinent to their vaccines and age.
At Clark's 2 or 3 week appt there was one flyer that totally stood out to me.
It was a checklist of questions for new moms to encourage the mom of a newborn to remember to take care of herself. Of course, i have misplaced it. But I still remember some of them, and I'll just make up the rest.
So, we'll do a Friday TOP TEN!!!!
The top ten ways to check if you are taking care of yourself......
1. Did you shower today?
2. Did you pray or read the bible?
3. Did you wear clean clothes?
4. Did you take 5-10 minutes to pamper yourself in some way?
5. Did you put on any makeup?
6. Did you go to the bathroom by yourself?
7. Did you drink some coffee?
8. Did you put on shoes?
9. Did you sweat due to some physical exercise activity?
10. Did you eat a fruit or vegetable?
Just checking in with you. Because I care. And I want you to care about me in this way.
My dearest friend shared the most kind words with me the other day....
"you may not wear those pants ever again". It's so sweet that she cares how my butt looks in pants :)
If you are a dude, this TOP TEN probably doesn't apply to you. And if it does, well... you are earning your mommy badge!
Loving and (hopefully) encouraging you,
Stacey
