I Love Being a Mom

I love being a mom. I love that when the kids wake-up in the middle of the night, they come to my side of the bed. I can magically help them and they are alright. I love that as a mom they learn so much from me. I pray that I am teaching them the things they need to know. I love being a mom. I love watching my children grow. I am so happy for my kids when they succeed. I want to be their protector when their feelings get hurt by some mean kid. I can be a mother bear. Nobody better get in the way of me and my kids. I love playing at the park with the kids. Yes, it is a little boring, but seeing how much fun they have makes me happy. I love bath time. I love the smells of the baby wash and how soft my kids feel from it. I love reading with the kids and when they read to me. I love that I get to stay home with them and not miss a milestone. I'm so grateful not to have them with a day care provider. If they do something new I witness it, and if they do something bad I witness it. I am the nurturer and teacher. No one else gets to do my job with my kids and I love it. I love to see the smiles on their faces when they wake-up in the morning. I am who they depend on for all the meals and transportation. I am the chef and taxi. I love it. So much of who they are and will become comes from who I am and how I treat them. I never want them to feel for one second that what I do is not in their best interest. I think of them all day and pray that they are safe. I want them to obey, but I want them to know that when they disobey punishments do not mean that they have lost my love. The hardest part of being a mom for me is making sure that they know that I love them unconditionally. I love being a mom and I think it is the best gift from God. I am so grateful for my kids I love them more than they will know, until they become parents themselves.
