Just being a Mom

Being a mom is such a blessing. I love being able to wake up every morning to this little person that depends on me for so much. I love the people that think that a stay at home mom is an easy job. And to those people that think that I say try reasoning or even understanding a one year old, and then try doing it everyday. It can be wearing at time and also rewarding. Some days I wonder what was I thinking wanting my kids this close together!! Shayd shocks me everyday. Today was the first day that he made a horse noise and yesterday he said flower (although he won't say it again). Shayd a week ago could play in his room all by himself why I did my own thing but not this week. I have to be in his room or wherever he wants to play, and if I am not he is grabbing my hand and dragging me in there. I am hoping the clinging to me will end soon. This weekend he didn't even want Keith just mom. I hope he gets over that a little before the baby arrives. I don't know how some of you do it with and keep sane with more than one kid. I could use some secrets!! Funny story Sunday we were playing with Shayd's building blocks and I laid back on my back and Shayd came over and wanted to give my belly (his brother) a kiss so he pulled up my shirt and gave me a kiss that resulted in a raspberry on the belly. He thought that was the neatest thing. My belly ended up slobbery, and I am sure the baby didn't know what was going on but I loved it. Silly blog I know but I think that sometimes I take for granted the privilege I have of staying home and that I don't have to work. I am very thankful for Keith's hard work that allows me to stay home and witness all Shayd's first, thirds and all the fits. Home is where the mom should be.
