Whimsical Wednesday

Good news: she likes brushing her own teeth.
Bad news: that's my toothbrush.

The Bryant Family said...: It must be something about the paste on our brushes because Tucker prefers and grabs Todds or mine to brush with after he has used his......maybe it is the bigger brush or soemthing.; 8:38 AM
Rachel Dominguez said...: LOL about the toothbrush, but GO CHELSEA on keeping those teeth clean.

Mommy to those Special Ks said...: ROFLOL!; 9:16 PM
Becca said...: Go, Chelsea! By the way, does she know how to spit yet? I keep thinking that baby toothpaste just won't do it for too much longer, and am trying to decide when I should try to teach Sammi.; 11:26 AM
My Three Sons said...: That is very funny. Carson does the same thing. He grabs mine or the boys so we have to really watch him when he goes into the bathroom.

Very cute pics!; 11:21 PM

Welcome to Dream Big!

Welcome to Dream Big! A place where I celebrate everyday miracles, while fumbling through my busy life as a Midwestern mom. I am a wife, a mom, a blogger, a photographer, a therapist, and a Kindergarten teacher. My husband is in the process of trading his hammer for a stethoscope. My seven year old son keeps me busy polishing my parenting skills, and my daughter, 5, is a tirelessly curious preschooler who also happens to be a cancer survivor.

In my free time I like to ... well if I did have free time, I would finish sewing all of those pretty little dresses I cut out for my daughter when she was a baby, or read books about children with Down syndrome, or inspiring stories of heroes who have fought cancer, or maybe just sit back, kick my feet up and drink an ice cold glass of ... orange juice.

If you'd like to read about my daughter's fight with leukemia, feel free to search the archives. She was diagnosed in September of 2007 and finished treatment in May 2008!

A Pair of Shoes

I am wearing a pair of shoes.They are ugly shoes.

Uncomfortable shoes.I hate my shoes.

Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had nother pair.

Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.

Yet, I continue to wear them.

I get funny looks wearing these shoes.

I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.

They never talk about my shoes.

To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.

To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.

But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.

I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.

There are many pairs in this world.

Some women ache daily as they try and walk in them.

Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.

Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.

No woman deserves to wear these shoes.

Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.

These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.

They have made me who I am.

I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has a child with cancer.
