What I Love about Mommy'ing

Since Mother's Day is this weekend, I have been thinking a lot about all the amazing little things that motherhood brings. Here is a brief list of the things I love the most..

1. Reading bedtime stories
2. Eskimo kisses
3. Baby lotion (the most perfect smell on Earth)
4. Holding hands
5. Chocolate milk
6. Baby breath
7. Footed jammies
8. Breastfeeding
9. Watching him sleep
10. Cuddles
11. Gummy grins
12. Firsts
13. Hearing "Mommy!" with the utmost excitement
14. Playing like I'm a kid again
15. Seeing my husband be a dad
16. Delirious kid laughs
17. Baby blankets
18. Watching the light bulb go off in his head while he's trying to figure something out
19. The zoo
20. Bathtime
21. Hearing him say "I love you"
22. Singing to him and rocking him at bedtime
23. Finding the beauty in the little things again
    
24. Giving in to an all encompassing, bigger-than-life love
25. Realizing that no matter how much I thought I would love being a mom, I really had no idea how deep that love would run

Hope you have a wonderful weekend and a very happy Mother's Day!
