Mommy and Me Time!
Fun story, This weekend, my daughter had her best friend over. I have been watching these two grow up together since they were babies. Before she fell asleep, her friend wasn't feeling great so I sat downstairs with them while we waited for the tylenol to kick in. My daughter was already sleeping and as I watched her friends eyes get heavier and heavier, I couldn't help but think how big they have gotten. Next year they are both going to be in fourth grade and turning ten. The tween sass is starting to kick in but it is still mixed with 'Mommy please tuck me in', big hugs and kisses. I know it will be a blink and she will be graduating 8th grade. So as I sat there in the dim light waiting for her friend to fall asleep, I started to cry. I am so proud of the girl my daughter is growing up to be and even though her friend technically isn't mine, I am just as proud of her. So as the tears rolled down my cheek, I knew how lucky I am to have these precious memories. (Yes... I am a big sappy mess sometimes...)
Being a mom is God's greatest gift. The only job in the world that is as thankless as it is rewarding. It doesn't matter how many times, I feel like a failure, these four little monkeys that call me mom are the best work I have ever done. They may not always mind their manners, or get straight A's but they are my squishy, lovable, frustrating, hilarious messes and I wouldn't want to spend a minute of my life without them.
Our kiddos won't be little forever and even though we have a billion pictures scattered all over social media, rarely are we in any of them with our kids. This is why I do the Mommy and Me Special. I know you love your babies in the same way I love mine, and you are going to see that love in these pictures.
Shoot me a message (text, email, messenger) and stop putting off being in the picture. You need to see what your love looks like.
