bottle


I am sitting here, holding Cameron and feeding her. It is amazing to me how content she is to let me do all the work. She does not try and take over and she is happy when I am in complete control. She is working on a whole 5oz this morning so she definitely needs her Daddy's help.
That will not last long. Soon, she will hit the stage of independence. She won't be able to make her bottle, but she'll want to do it on her own. She won't be able to warm it up. She won't even know where her food is or what she can eat, but she will still want to do it alone. Sounds silly doesn't it. I am more than capable to give her exactly what she needs, but she will fight that and try to do it alone.
Does that sound familiar? There is little need for me to apply it for you. What are you trying to do alone...Dating, Marriage, finances, school, friendship, family...Is it not silly to turn you back on the Dad who created all of those things? Isn't it silly to not depend on him? Could anything be more foolish that trying to do life on your own. I hope today that you will find yourself in over your head and then find yourself Dependent.
