What I Love...

…About Being a Mom

1. Being Mommy and being called Mommy

2. Hearing the laughter and giggles of my boys

3. Reading about dinosaurs with Jacoby

4. Having Morgan as my shadow, "helping" me with everything

5. Hearing people praise my kids

6. Watching my boys blow on their pretend cups while saying they’re drinking coffee (at least it’s not wine or margaritas!)

7. Hearing “Mommy, I need you!” and “No, I want Mommy do it.” and “Mommy, why aren’t you sitting on the couch beside me right now?!”

8. Celebrating birthdays, Christmas, or any other special occasion that sparks their excitement, imagination, and joy

9. Watching Jacoby and Morgan succeed in a task that has been difficult or challenging

10. Seeing the growing relationships they have with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins…there are so many people who love them!

11. Receiving any kind of artwork created by my boys…and proud descriptions of what they’ve done like “Look, Mommy! I drew you a T-Rex!”

12. Getting spontaneous hugs and “I love you”s

13. Holding hands when we walk together

14. Watching Morgan and Jacoby play together and love each other

15. Spending time together as a family…these are my very favorite people!
