The emotions of parenting

Being a parent: the highs are high and the lows are low.

For me, that summarizes some days!  My son’s emotions swing so quickly, sometimes my own emotions can’t keep up.  I try to keep a thick skin during the “lows”, but it isn’t always easy. Before you know it though, all is well again and you’re sharing a special moment.

Here’s a photo that captures a sad moment.  For me, photos like this provide an authentic  record of the whole experience of being a child, and of parenting. Its not just about the happy, smily moments!
