My goal is to become more patient with Sara and remember that she is a child that is constantly learning. So lately I've been watching her without her noticing. I can't believe how much she is impacted by me and how I treat her. Not that I treat her bad, I just have high expectations for her. So my expectations for her are imposed on her babies. It is cute to see her act and say the things that I say to her. She even gets my attitude and puts her hands on her hips like I do. I've become my mother and now my daughter has become me!
She does also try to teach her babies how to bow their heads and pray as we do with her. Not all of my bad habits have been picked up, but I have noticed that if I don't begin letting her be herself I'll be raising a child to be me and not an individual.
How much I have learned by just observing and seeing my daughter for who she is...

I know what you mean--Clara picks up so much from us, and I realize more and more how careful I need to be. It's pretty incredible and scary at the same time. I, too, need to talk less and listen more.
