- cuddling on the sofa watching more kid shows than i care to admit. my kids are always shaking their head in pity when i quote from the kid shows like i used to quote seinfeld...
- answering the same question over and over again - just in case the answer changed.
- the warm hand slipped into mine as we walk anywhere.
- playing catch. {and not embarrassing myself in the process}
- watching with pride as your kids begin to excel at their chosen sport/activity.
- listening to the kids belly laugh downstairs, knowing that they are probably doing something naughty, but not wanting to go see because it's so fun to hear that sound.
- the horrible sound of silence when you KNOW they are up to no good.
- the tiny promptings to ask the right question in the right moment. the stronger promptings when you need to say no.
- seeing a daughter grow right before your eyes
- watching your son's shoulders fill out. knowing how badly he wants to grow taller too.
- getting to know each child. learning their interests, personalities, sense of humor.
- loving and accepting each child as a gift sent specifically to me to teach me important lessons.
- agonizing over every major decision - just in case it's the one that messes them up for good.
- having more love and joy in your heart - even through the really really hard stuff- than you ever dreamed possible.
