Motherhood

I have been the worst blogger ever lately, and for that I apologize (to you Brianna).

Since Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 8th I thought I would write about my thoughts on motherhood. Your mothering skills change as your child gets older. You mother differently for an infant, then you do for a toddler, child, teenager and adult. As Liam gets older his comments get funnier. He is quick to tell me when he farts. He always points out when someone has a booger, and he always wants to give me toilet paper when I am using the bathroom.

When you tell him to smile he gives you on like this one above. His fake smile is one of "OK are my teeth supposed to show?"

He has a fascination for trash... why, I don't know. Anytime he sees trash, anywhere, he picks it up. If we are driving down the road and he sees trash, he points it out. If you take your eyes off of him he will throw away your jewelry and TV remotes too.

I love being a mother. My son is my world. As he gets older I have to learn how to be a mother all over again. No more bottles, no more rocking to sleep and great use of the timeout bench.

Ive carried a child within my body. Ive slept with my baby on my chest. Ive kissed boo boos and mended broken hearts. I've been puked on, peed on, pooped on and spent sleepless nights in the rocking chair. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body isn't magazine perfect by far. But when I look in the mirror... I see a MOM, and there is no greater honor or blessing!

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms and moms-to-be!
