Well, here is another post from FireWife's list of Blog Challenges:
The Best About Being a Parent? Oh do I have all the time in the world to answer this?? Do I have only a certain amount I can write, like how many pages???
First, I love being a parent! That being said, I love being a Mom, Mother, Mommy....whatever term of endearment they want to call me, Highness Mommy or Angel Mommy or Mother Nature. No matter what they say I love it!
ok so here goes about the BEST about being a parent:
1. To hear your children say the words, I love you! No matter the age, or where we are, it always warms my heart.
2. To listen to them talk about their day, what they did with their friends and what they learned.
3. To see them learn things, like getting dressed and doing chores.
4. I love it when they can act goofy and play and just be themselves.
5. When they say things to others and you can do nothing but smile and think, yeah that kid is mine!
6. Kissing owies and putting band-aids on them and making them feel better.
7. Knowing that they know they can come in my room in the middle of the night and come in to my bed if they have had a bad dream.
8. Knowing there are resources out there for children who are deaf and that they are FREE.
9. When they say, "No mom, your not old even if you do pluck out gray hairs."
10. When they think they can't do any better at something and you encourage them to do better and guess what? They ROCK!
11. Being the parent that trusts her 16 yr old daughter to go to party's, football games and concerts.
12. Playing and teaching them games.
13. Watching cartoons and animated movies with them.
14. Taking them to Universal Studios or Disneyland and just seeing the look of pure amazement on their faces.
15. The pure innocence of them.
16. Being able to talk with other parents about children things.
17. Teaching them to drive.
18. Going out and getting a bite to eat with them.
19. Taking them to the first day of school and making sure they don't see me cry.
20. Teaching them to swim, tie their shoes and ride a bike, I love it all!
I could go on and on and on, but I won't...lol I really do love being a Mother to all my children
and I could ask for nothing more, well ok I do want my kids to be happy when they are all grown up and out on their own, to be successful in whatever they choose to do with their lives.
