Usually I am writing about building my relationships with friends, but my community also extends to the two people who live inside my home—the ones that truly have to “do life” with me. Perhaps, nurturing these relationships are the most important!
Being a first-time mom I was unsure how my relationship with my son would actually be cultivated. We spend every moment together. I feed him, change his diaper and tell him “no” way too many times a day. We read books, we exchange silly faces and meet with friends at the park. So, how was I going to connect with someone who can only say four words?
Some of you veteran moms may be chuckling to yourself because you “get it” and you-soon-to-be moms are thinking “please give me the secret to becoming besties with my children!” Well, friends, it’s not as complicated as we make it.
You treat your child like an adult friend. You learn what they like and what they don’t like. You listen when they babble to you.
You take an interest in what they’re playing with and you give lots of praise for the way God made them.
You pray with them, you laugh with them and you love them as they are.
Hunter and I are buds. We have a unique friendship that I cherish so much and these shirts were an immediate YES when I saw Rosalynne Love post about them. I was already a collector of Rosaylnne’s comfy and cute shirts and I wanted to wear something that expressed my sweet bond with Hunter.
I hope ya’ll enjoy some of these photos and mommas, you need to get you and your kiddos these ASAP!

Hi Bailey!
Your blog post “Befriending Your Children” was a great read.
Here’s my comment.
Sure, our family are those “doing life” with us, and thus vital parts of our daily relations.
As an ongoing first time mum, it was interesting reading your view on this topic.
My favourite part of this particular blog post was when you wrote:
“You take an interest in what they’re playing with, and you give lots of praise for the way God made them.”
Your blog post pictures are cute!
Love the smile on your sun’s face.
God bless, and thank you for contributing with your blog posts to higher the quality of the Christian blogging community!
Of to share on Twitter.

I didn’t know you were a first time mom too! That’s great! You need to get you and your kiddo these shirts! It’s so fun to wear them and show off your love in being his/her mom.
The shirts are seriously cute and I love the background decor of your son’s room. Creating a relationship with your kids is important. Like all of your other friends, your children have unique personalities. How you connect with one will be different than the other. It’s important to take the time to get to know their personalities and take an invested interest. Thank you for the lovely reminder.
You are totally catching the spirit of the article! I hope you look at Rosalynne’s website and consider gifting yourself or a friend with these adorable shirts.
