10 things i love about my children

For a change instead of moaning about how difficult I find being a mother, I thought I'd focus on what I love about my boys;

1. I love the way I am the most important person in their lives. Daddy comes a close second...
2. I love how they wrap their little arms around me when they want a cuddle or reassurance. The warmth of their little bodies and how they hug me as tightly as possible.
3. I love how we have a bond that no one else has, they have lived inside me for 9 whole months, they've heard my voice and knew me before I knew them.
4. I love their cheekiness, Theo especially has such a cheeky streak, even when he's being a complete horror, one flash of that smile and I can't be mad anymore.
5. I love how they've changed me for the better, I've actually learnt to put others before myself!!
6. I love how I've been blessed not once but twice with children who love their sleep - for this I'm unbelievably thankful
7. I love the way they look at each other sometimes, those brief moments of pure love for each other, they are the best of friends. True friends who spend 90% of their time trying to maim the other.
8. I love the way they've made us into a family; before they arrived Andy and I were a couple, they have made us a family. The Brakes
9. I love their laughter; there truly is no better sound in the world than your child's belly laugh
10. I love their individuality, they are chalk and cheese. Everyone told me you never get two alike, and they were right

I've not listed these in order of importance, merely as they've popped into my head. When I thought about it I could of written many more. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught in the moment, the moments of craziness and frustration, and focus purely on the negative as opposed to the positive.

This just proves how lucky I really am.

 

 

My children are wonderful little people.
