I was recently asked just why I loved being a mum so much. I have to admit, the question caught me a little off-guard as I had never been asked it before.
I think the biggest thing is the unconditional love that both N and I have for each other. No matter what time of day I go through to see him in his cot, I am met by the biggest gummy smile in the world - that is, unless he is hangry.
Here are a few other reasons I adore being N's mum:
- seeing N grow week on week. I have to pinch myself to remember "I did that"
- being able to share my days (and nights) with this special wee man and sharing his achievements
- being able to make the boy smile by just being there
- knowing that me and my hubby created the most beautiful boy in the world
- seeing N enjoy his bath, his walks, singing and loving his family
- hear him chat to himself and be perfectly happy playing with his fingers - even if it is at 5am
- seeing him smile at his daddy when he comes home
There are however some things I don't love so much:
- interrupted sleep
- not knowing when I will be sicked up on next and which outfit will smell like off milk for the rest of the day
- his sad face. You know the one where the bottom lip turns upside down
- seeing him grow so quickly. Make it stop!
But not matter the day we have had, all the brilliant things that such a wee man brings really do make mine and the hubby's lives.
