"Excuse me, Sir.  Have you seen my son, Jay?  He is about your height, has your hair color, but does not have eyeglasses or a mustache."

 

I love this picture of Jay!  We were being so silly.  Even at 5 years old, he understands how people can wear masks and change who they are!  We all do that. 

 

As silly as it is, Moms do it, too!  We try so hard to be super mom for our kids, husbands, selves, and friends. 

 

As great as it is to have a little fun and be someone else for a while, I am trying to remember that it is way more important to be me.  Not only is it important to be true to who I am for ME, it is also important to teach my kids to be proud of who they are! 

 

And I hear that little voice in the back of my head, "Are we there yet?"....not yet.  But we are getting there!
