From One Mother to Another

I toyed with the idea of writing a sad and melancholy and woe's me post. But then I decided to give my head a shake and remember that I am the mother. It is MY day and to focus on this instead.

Things that I have learned since becoming a mother.

1. when your son wants to play with you, drop what you're doing and play
2. dirty hands aren't the end of the world
3. go to sleep early once in awhile
4. get all the hugs in now
5. get all the kisses in now
6. remember to take a deep breath and count to three
7. remember that he loves you just as you are
8. he thinks you are the prettiest mama in the world
9. he thinks you are the best mama in the world
10. tomorrow is another day

Things that I love

1. when your son grabs your hand
2. when your husband tells you that he still loves you beyond belief
3. when your son runs into your arms when you come home from work
4. watching him sleep
5. listening to the nonsense and pretending to have a conversation
6. being at home when my son wakes up in the morning (I love the weekends)
7. dancing with my son
8. laying on the sofabed with both my babies
9. learning to live again
10. my life

Happy Mother's Day.
