Today, my 1 year old was snacking in the living room, and of course making a mess. When she was done eating I went to pick up the pieces of food she dropped on the floor. I wasn't frustrated by having to do that. It's expected from a little one after all. Then along came baby, toddling her way to Mamma, and she planted a sweet kiss on my cheek. OH,WHAT A RUSH OF MOTHER HORMONES! I stopped what I was doing, and hugged and kissed her! Plenty more than she wanted! She just wanted to continue on with her exploring, and play. I cherished that moment though. BABY LOVE, gotta love that!
Motherhood is sweet. Sure, it gets overwhelming sometimes. With all the whining, mood swings, potty breaks, cooking, cleaning, etc......yup, it's not always rainbows when it comes to raising kids. Well not with mine at least. BUT, it's the best best best x best best best job I will ever want. Really, I love being a mom. I love my kids for who they are, and for their strengths and weaknesses. I want to be around for all the struggles life may throw their way, and hold them up when they fall. If we take moments throughout the day, to just STOP...we can find lots of those "little" things our children do that tug on our heart strings.
What has your child done to melt you today?
