1. They wake up happy! Every
day! Without fail! – And that smile when they open their eyes and
see your face – it’s just Priceless! Definitely a habit worth mirroring!
2. They dance! At the
sound of any kind of music, anywhere we are – even if it’s just the ringtone on
my phone or the music from 7de Laan – they wiggle that little 3 year old &
9 month old booties like there’s no tomorrow – out of tune & with a smile
on their faces! It’s hilarious & adorable.
3. They forgive ME –
for every mistake, always! They forgive me for losing it sometimes, they
forgive me for forgetting to change their diaper, for dragging them with me to
the mall when they overtired – for secretly stealing the sweets from their
party packs – they forgive me, right then & there – no grudges, no blame.
4. They so random & unpredictable sometimes – I absolutely
adore the unexpected extended hug when I get home from work from Caleb or the
random “I love you” when I’m giving him a bath – even the unexpected smack or
even waking up to Christian biting my chin! My kiddos never cease to amaze me.
5. They make me feel needed & valued
& beautiful! They never point out that I've got
morning breath and refuse to kiss me good morning, instead I get an endless
supply of spitty kisses at my request – They never tell me my hair’s a mess
& I Iook terrible and refuse to go out in public with me – Christian’s at
his happiest propped on my hip and Caleb holding my hand. No matter the problem
or the hurt – I can hug & kiss ANYTHING better! They trust me – blindly,
completely & without question – they believe everything I say, and do &
go wherever they told. They never tell me I’m boring, they happy just staying
home with mommy, following me everywhere I go, and always staying close whether
I’m washing dishes or mopping the floor, they always right there… ♥
