She Says Brief Things

Mother

Not that I don’t feel this way all of the time…but today in particular I have been sitting and thinking about it, and that is how absolutely amazing it is to be a mother. As I was feeding my little queen Delia, I looked down into her smiling eyes and I said, “who is the most beautiful girl in the world? you are! you are my favorite girl!” This caused her to unlatch and burst out laughing. At 4 months old you can only imagine how adorable her little baby squeal is. So happy and innocent and anxious. She is beautiful in every sense of the word. 

On the complete opposite end of the spectrum we have my bouncing, roudy, all boy, rough and tough 2 year old David. After Delia melted my heart with her sweet giggles, I got up from feeding her and put her in her bouncy seat. I then went over and grabbed david up off of his toy motorcycle and cradled him like a baby and said, “who is my favorite boy?!” he did his little squinty close eyed smile where he scrinches up his nose and replied “Daydid!” (which is his pronunciation for his name David, of course) Then he jerked up and said “Down!” So used to hearing this I sat him back down in the floor knowing he was ready to run wild again and he looked up and said, “mama!” and i said, “David!” then he says, “mama! See that?!” and he pointed at his sister Delia and said, “Sissy!” then ran over and gave her a kiss.

These are my proud mommy moments. I cannot even begin to put into words how blessed I feel that God honored me with the purpose of being a mother. No matter what my mood or how many things have gone wrong in a day, I can look a my 2 bright eyed babies and know that I was put here to be their mother, grow them up into the world, and that means more to me than anything. So much love.
