An hour ago, I wrote about “My Toddler’s Education,” and while it’s true that crayons and songs and kisses are part and parcel of that, I realized that it was not only me giving my child and education- I am receiving one, too! So, before I go to sleep, I just have to post some of the valuable lessons I’ve learned from my daughter:

1. She taught me to crouch low and look at life from her vantage point. I thus learned patience.
2. She taught me to tackle our generation gap with lots of singing, dancing, play-acting, voice modulating and coloring. I thus learned creativity and resourcefulness.
3. She taught me that she screams and throws tantrums for a reason. I thus learned to anticipate and be ready.
4. She taught me that her tears have their purpose. I thus learned to comfort and to care.
5. She taught me that she hugs and seeks for my protection when she’s hurt or afraid. I thus learned to be brave.

But of all the lessons my baby Carmela has taught me, I believe that the greatest one is this: With her undying loyalty and confidence in me, I learned to be a mother.
