Lellow

Today was yellow day for Q at preschool.
They sang the yellow song.
Q was belting it out and I was so proud.
The cutest part was how he says yellow
"rubber duckies are lellow!"

Some of the preschool mommies were giggling about Q's "lellow"
I think he even got a bit self conscious, and sang quieter for a bit
But quickly resumed belting it out "his" way,
I was so happy he did.
I want my children to embrace their unique traits.

It took me a long time to embrace my uniqueness.
Now I realize it is a gift to be different.
Q won't always say "lellow" but he may have other traits, likes, or values that are different than the crowd
I hope he stands tall then just as he did today.

I hope I can role model
Embracing uniqueness
And
Fervent disregard for approval from "the crowd"
