Motherhood is this interesting adventure. Some days are hard--like those days when your kids are sick and puking and you are exhausted--and everything in you tells you to make it better--and you can't. Some days are heartbreaking--like when that kid--you know THAT KID--pushes your kid or rips the picture that he made him or says something like "I don't want to be your friend" and you just have to watch and swallow every knee jerk reaction to punch that kid in the face. Or howabout when your kid ask you about what is going to happen to them if you die...and who is going to take care of them and you realize that the fears of this world are slowly making deep impressions on your precious little one. Some days are celebratory--like when they ride a bike or write their name or just turn a year older. And some days you just are floored by the sweetness of the little creature in front of you that you get to call your own. Today I had some music going and a song came on that I liked so I asked my almost 5 year old if he wanted to dance with me. We twirled and swung and laughed and then the song was over and I went back to my daily chores. A few minutes passed...new song...and my sweet little boy walked up to me and said, "May I have this dance?" in his oh-so sweet 5 year old voice. Cue tears. And we danced. And I'm amazed and humbled that this little boy is mine and feel so blessed that I get to spend the rest of my life loving on him.
It is these sweet little moments that make all of it so, SO worth it.
blessed to be a mom
