"MOOOOOM"

The last couple of days I have really enjoyed hearing my kids calling my other name, mom. It has felt so rewarding to hear my little monkeys say "mom, i hate that shirt", "mom, can I pleeeeease have another fruit snack?", "mom, can you please tuck me in", "mom, Milli just tipped over"... These phrases are very common at our house lately and I am loving it. Even when my kids are mad at me I have been enjoying it. Its such an honor to have that 'title'. I find it very rewarding, difficult, but very rewarding. I am grateful for my little monkeys.

It's so funny you posted this Laura, cause just the other day I was thinking "I LOVE being a mum, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing"
And was really content!
We're on the same page.

Thanks for reminding me that Mom is a great word!

I am so glad that you enjoy hearing it. It seems like I hear it as soon as I sit down or close my eyes. I don't so much love it when this happens. Admittedly, being a mom is the best.

I love it too. There are only 4 people in the whole world who can call me that. It's just awesome. :)
