Willow Knows Best

It continues to amaze me how babies have an inate ability to self regulate and find their perfect balance in all aspects of life. Whether it be eating, sleeping, or balancing mood, Willow always finds her way. She is constantly reminding me that less control is better. Coming from a former control addict, this is a serious area of growth. I am learning that when I offer Willow an environment of calmness and opportunity, she will sleep. When I listen to her nursing cues and make available healthy, yummy food she takes in what she needs. When I am peaceful and centered, she too can find peace and focus. It is amazing how this tiny being knows so much! May she always be so in-tune.
