I love most of it except for the sick times. I feel bad when they can't tell me what is wrong with them. They just look so precious. I love being a mother of two. I have a three year old and an 11 month old. It is so nice to see them grow up and begin to learn things like rolling over, crawling, talking, walking, etc. I wouldn't change it for the world. I can't wait until I can start being involved in what they do at school. What do you love the most?

I love it when my daughter and I are telling stories with each other. We're like girlfriends. Being a parent is not just being responsible for your child's financial needs, or having to provide him with his wants at home. It's important that you establish a bond with him.

Yes I agree the bond that you share with your children is priceless.

I am thrilled whenever I play with my 15-month old son. I love hearing him laugh when I tickle him gently. He's so adorable when he "sings" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with me. It warms my heart when he gives me a hug. I smile when he dances. I can't wait for him to say "I love you, Mommy". I live for those moments with him.

Those are some of the most precious words that you will hear. I remember when my daughter said it to me the first time it makes your heart melt and cry.

I have a five year old. I would not give him up for anything. he is my joy. I love the times when he comes up to me and gives me flowers and a hug just because he loves me. He is quick to forgive and has a tender heart. I am blessed to have him.
