I want my kid to be well dressed, none sloppy, or snot running down her mouth and drying!!! (i know, gross). Growing up I would hear about me not just representing myself but my parents as well. Knowing that Jesus loves us just the way we are is a great reminder and something that I will strive even HARDER for my little girl to understand!

If my kids dress cool, then maybe they'll think I'm a cool parent. If they behave, then maybe they'll think I'm a good dad. I'm with you in the struggle to let go of that stuff. Thanks for the reminder. I find that many of my concerns about my kids are more concerns about what others will think about me as a parent.
