IMANI

My daughter's name is Imani.The inspiration for this blog.She is 5 months going 6 and what a handful she is.Who would have thought motherhood would have been so much fun,so much anxiety,satisfaction and yes pure joy?The experience is amazing to say the least.Ima said her first word which you wouldnt guess:"Hallo".Instead of mommy!!The girl is fascinated by phones and will grab yours if given a chance.Right now she is battling having to put everything she gets a hold to in her month.She is growing fast.A couple of months ago i was going through labor that lasted me 18 hours and yet if you ask me how that experience was,well lets say her smiles and little kisses have helped fade that memory away:)I love her to bits and i wouldnt give her up for anything in this world.For all the sacrifices,watching a little person discover the world for the first time is part of a miracle of being a mom.And i couldnt be happier....
Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - "which is the mostest? which is the leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: the heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart. -Richard Buckminster Fuller
