Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of those beautiful and wonderful Moms that I know! Since it is Mother's Day, I figured I would take this opportunity to share with everyone why I love being a mom!

1. Moments like these, where Jaden is just as goofy as I am...and actually enjoys it!

2. Moments when he gets an owie and suddenly my kisses are magic and makes all of the pain go away.

3. Moments I am frustrated, and he says "sowy" (after I tell him to, of course)...we are learning manners :).

4. Moments when he sees a "bebe" that is younger than him and goes over to give them a toy that he was currently playing with...practicing his sharing.

5. Moments when he is a HUGE cuddle bug.

6. Yes, even moments when he throws his little tantrums...it makes me more appreciative of when he is being good :)

7. Moments when he makes a confused face, raises his hands palms up, and says "Huh?"

8. Moments when he is so tired and his hand goes straight up to his head to start playing with his hair as he lays his head down on my shoulder.

9. Moments when I say "I love you" and he looks up with his brown eyes and says, "too", in his deeper than deep baby voice.

10. Moments when I look at him and really realize that he is mine and families are forever.

I absolutely love being a mom. There are definitely difficult moments, but the moments that are special and amazing far surpass those that can be frustrating and patient-trying. Jaden is the greatest blessing that I could have ever hoped for. He has kept me strong. He is definitely something special, and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be a mother, especially to this very-active-always-getting-into-everything-sweet-as-can-be-baby-boy, Jaden. I love you Bubba!
