Many of us like to poke fun at some of the things that drive us crazy as parents... let's flip the script, what are the 10 things you love about motherhood?
Tomorrow Katharine will turn nine months and one week old, she will also at some point during the day give me a look that suggests I did or said something stupid. But I love it. In fact, as if by magic, here are 10 things that I love about being Katharine's mother...
1. That stretch she does first thing in a morning and the smile that follows it when she opens her eyes and spots that it's me interrupting her zzzzzs.
2. Having an excuse to buy more books, children's books of course. :)
3. Trying to get her to chant Mummy instead of Daddy and then raising an eye brow when she calls me Stacy!
4. Holding the sleep growbag to my face when it is still warm from her little sweaty wriggly body ha ha.
5. Katharine's expression when the fruit is too tart.
6. Watching the dog get excited when she rolls Katharine the ball and Katharine finally learns to kick it back.
7. Enjoying all the firsts; tastes, sightings, crawls, climbs...
8. Chasing her around the double bed to put her nappy on while she squeals at being chased.
9. Seeing that recognition when she greets me at the door after work.
10. Laughing at the baby dancing that accompanies the slightest bit of music be it songs, advertisement jingles or mobile phone ringtones.
What? I reached 10 already??? I could go on for ever.
Well... may be not forever... the let's yank Mummy's hair move is not one of my favourites. :)
So are you a parent? What are the things that make your day?
