Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / July 2005

I love the way Alana sighs in her sleep.
... the way my kitten NEEDS to be petted all the time.
... the way I get pats on the back for carrying Alena in her sling. :)
... the way my husband will do funny little things to make me smile
(midnight release party BY HIMSELF to get my Harry Potter book!)
... the way my friends are being super supportive of my choices.
...the way Alena loves listening to Peggy Lee with me because she sways to
the trumpets and giggles at the endings.

...when my sweet boy gives his kisses to mommy
...when after a hard day of playing he decides to snuggle in and watch TV.
...and of course when he tries to sing the spongbob theme. LOL

I love rubbing my hand over the fuzzy freshly-buzz-cut heads of my boys
right after they visit the barber.
I love the chlorine smell of them after they get out of the pool.
I love going in to wake them up and seeing the kitten sprawled across E's
neck.
I love seeing W. devour a dozen pancakes (and ask for more!)  on Saturday
morning.
I love answering the phone and having it be S's girlfriend, calling long
distance from California, and knowing that someone else loves him (almost)
as much as I do.
I love sharing the books and music I loved when I was young, and having my
children appreciate them as much as I did.

I love that dgd is now asking mommy to come to our house.

I love the things she says when she is busy playing.

I love watching dgs toddle..

There is no sound, no cry in all the world
that can be heard unless someone listens ..

I love:

-Seeing DDs eyes triple in size when she gets excited over something
-The few times i get to sleep through the night
-when the kids hug each other!

"Mermaid"

... the way my DH always gets changed in the bathroom if I'm sleeping
... the way DS just loves a cuddle
... the way DD can just chatter me into a better mood

I love when MJ wakes up in the morning with the biggest smiles,
... when MJ sucks on his toes while i'm trying to change him
....when TJ comes out to watch cartoons dragging a stuffed bunny by the ears
(*he's 6!)
...when TJ asks me to read him a book
... when AJ goes up to MJ in the mornings and says "he's so kyoot"
.... when AJ comes to my bed at 6am and says "time to get up, but snuggles
first"
... when Dh comes home from work for supper and says "it's the best meal
ever" (for all my cook'n even the veggies)
... when Dh gives me the new rocker and takes the "old one" to his cave even
though the new one is a replacement for a different old one.
