I was thinking about how I haven’t been super compelled to post anything here in a while, and it seems that I have been spending less time thinking about being a parent, and more time just kind of being one. Maybe it’s gotten more normal, or there’s a new normal, or at least a routine. The parent- and kid-related articles I come across haven’t been jumping out at me as much as they have in previous months, and I feel like my identity has shifted from “mother” to “mother and some other stuff too.” Maybe this is sort of the normal course of things, that the dude and my relationship with him has been incorporated into me and my life and it’s not something I think about in any sort of meta way because it just is what it is, everyday awesomeness and craziness with my guy. That’s not to say that this won’t shift again, who knows. But right now, I’m just loving his 5 teeth and his giggles and his fat feet.
