Re: Ask me anything too!
What is the most important thing you have learned since becoming a mother?
If you could change your name to anything else what would it be?
Oh wow...if I could study anything, it would be dance. I used to dance growing up and always loved it. My parents made me stop in high school because they didn't want it interfering with my homework and school obligations. I wish I never quit though.
I'm also a US History buff, so I would major in dance, minor in US History
1. I've learned to just enjoy my daughter, even during her screaming fits. It's so easy for me to get frustrated and I've had to learn to calm down and realize that she's just showing me herself as best she can at her age. I love to just sit and watch her sleep, and hold her while she's napping. It's a feeling I'll always love.
2. I actually hated my name (Laurel) for a long time because I could never find anything with my name on it. Now, I appreciate that it's unique, but not unheard of. I really don't think I'd change it, but when I was a kid, I wanted to change my name to Meredith...I don't remember why.
IMO I love the name Laurel. It's my cousin's name. You are right unique. But beautiful.
