( Things To Like )

Things I love about being a mom:

Note: These are in no particular order.

1) Spontaneous kisses, hugs, and "I wove wou, Mommy" from my daughter.
2) Cuddling in bed on a weekend morning while she plays with my hair.
3) Toddler toys - especially the ones that make cool noises. (These do not always make my list of favourite things, of course.)
4) Kiddie books - I just bought one called "I'm Still Here in the Bathtub," full of silly finks of popular songs (that one is to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game.")
5) The opportunity to watch language development from its outset - especially with my smart little girl.
6) Seeing the light go on as she learns a new concept or uses a new word.
7) Seeing how a small child can pull together family members who otherwise were drifting apart.
8) Increased engagement - I have one perfect reason to be involved in politics, church, and my community. I was always involved, but I'm more involved now.
9) Common cause with my husband, as we tackle parenting issues together.
10) They're just so darn cute!
