Being a mom is such hard work with tons of sacrifices and requiring an amount of patience that many of us run short on. But despite all of that I absolutely LOVE being a mom! The joys are priceless. Here are some reasons I love being a mom:
Moms get to be proud of their son's diligent work with their dad in creating a spiffy Pinewood Derby car. We also get to be extra proud of our son when his car, despite it's sharp looks, looses the race and yet he continues to be excited for the other boys and cheers them on.
Moms get to be full of pride as they watch their husband pin the latest earned patch onto their son...
and we get to delight in their excitement of the fireworks cake they made with their dad. He especially gets giddy (as does his dad) when he realizes that even though his cake was not the most outlandish looking cake, it was one of the few that was devoured in no time.
Moms get to giggle at their son's wild hair styles that he thinks are just the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Moms get to delight in their daughter's dream of some day having a ferret...and see the dream slowly become a reality. (Grace has been saving up for over a year for her ferret. She's been doing continual research on ferrets and cages. She discovered this cage was on sale this month and asked if she could purchase it. Something tells me it won't be too much longer before there is an occupant living in this new home. Moms also get to help their children's dreams come true!)
Moms get to let their oldest daughter call their DJ friend on the radio to request a song...and catch their expression on "film" when they hear their friend's voice announce their name for all to hear.
Then the moms get to dance to the requested song with her kids!
Moms get to encourage creativity and skills in taking apart a wood crib and building a "bus"...then eating lunch on the "bus". (Yes, the kids informed me they were building a bus and continue to refer to their creation as "the bus". Love it!)
Moms get to let their kiddos lick the beaters after making cake batter.
Moms get to let their kids use their saved up money to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck, run around in the backyard barefooted, hear their children say "Mommy, I love you" for no other reason than to just speak their hearts, and they also get to watch their children explore and play as only a child can with all the joy in the world!
I love being a mom!
