Motherhood

I enjoy being a mother. There are definitely moments that my patience is being tried and I am sure that one child is more than enough. You know those kinds of moment. When your child takes a bath and there is more water on the bathroom floor than in the bathtub. Or there are the times when your child makes sure every toy he owns is spread throughout the house. Don't forget the times when your child decides to climb on top of the desk and throw everything off. Then to top it off the times when they want to cry and cry for no reason. Nothing will make them happy. You hold them they cry. You give them milk they cry. You take them outside they cry. You do nothing they cry.

Even though there are bad times there are many more good times that make it all worth it. There the times when they are busy playing but have to stop to come give you a hug. There is the times when they want to just cuddle up to you. Or when your done with the bedtime prayers and your son gets up and gives you a great big kiss. I also love when I get to just sit back and watch Reagan play and giggle. Those are the moments that make it all worth it.

This morning I took Reagan outside to throw away his stinky diaper. After changing Reagan he feels that it his job to take his diaper out to the trash right then. If we do it for him he throws a fit. When we went out this morning to take out his diaper Reagan decided to go for a run. He ran to the sidewalk and started running away from me. He ran about four house down. He thought this was quite funny. I had to ignore him and act like I was going to leave him in order for him to come back. He finally decided to come back. He had to run through several people's yards first. When he came back I let him play in the yard for a little bit.

Many children like to give there parents things to show them that they love them. Well this morning while playing Reagan decided that he loved me so much I deserved a present. Some children will pick a neighbors flowers or a dandelion to give to their mom. Not Reagan!!! He thought of something even better. He loved me so much he thought that we would pick me some grass. Not just any grass but the longest grass he could find in both of our neighbors yard. He did a good job too. That stuff is hard to pull out. He fell a few times trying to pick me just the right grass. After picking lots of good grass he picked it all up and brought me the perfect bouquet of grass. Along with a good hug. Now that is true love.
