Smile

It's amazing the utter joy that my baby's smile can bring to my heart. She is an amazingly happy baby. She is so much fun to watch. She is funny and loves to laugh. I love to see her learning. You can almost see the connections being made and the thoughts developing in her little head.

It is really fun to watch my son grow and learn. Sometimes, it is hard, because he has started learning things that I am not sure how to answer. He has learned about death and wanted to know if Santa Claus was dead. What do you say to that? I am really amazed at some of the things that he understands and remembers. He shocks me regularly! He can remember things I had forgotten.

I love the things I have learned by being a mother. It makes me think of a book called Being the Mom : 10 coping strategies I learned by Accident because I had children on purpose by: Emily Watts. It has been a while since I read it, so I really don't remember much other than it is funny (my memory is horrid) but I thought of the title. I have learned a lot of things on "accident" because I chose to have children. I think I have learned to have more patience and tolerance. I have learned that anything can be a toy. I have learned diligence, so that I can constantly make sure they aren't killing themselves. I have definitely learned a lot about love. I can't wait for the next lesson.
