Sometimes, right in the middle of a crazy, busy day I take a breath and realize I am a mom. I am living my dreams right now and reveling in the ooey gooey sticky messes of motherhood. It isn't exactly how I thought it would be because I am not the perfect mother I planned on. But my boys allow me to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow. They give me kisses, they ask me to sing songs, and they want me to play with them constantly. These little blessings that I prayed for, wished for, and spent 9 months excitedly awaiting their arrival are here. And I don't want to miss one minute of their adoring love and devotion.
Just the other morning Tave was in his crib crying (actually screaming) for me. But I was tired and had decided I was over his month long obsession with all things mom. So I asked Jeff to go get him in what could not be described as a nice voice. Jeff, (who is the perfect husband) went and got him but not without leaving me with something to think about. He said "You should just appreciate how much he loves you."
Whether I like it or not, my boys are going to grow up. And they will not always want my hugs, my kisses, a snuggle in my lap, and one of mom's crazy songs. So I will give them everything I can right now and appreciate every bit of love I get back. (even if it comes too early in the morning)
I am blessed to be a mom and I love it.
A Happy Happy Mother's Day to:
My own wonderful Mother- who taught me how to love by first loving me.
My amazing Mother in Law - who loved my husband and helped him become the man I fall in love with over and over again.
Every inspiring mother in my life. I want to be like you.
