This is my second Mother's Day being a mom, and I want you to know that I LOVE being a mom. I know that sometimes I freak out and lose my patience with you, but I love you so much. Here are some of my favorite parts of being a mom to you:
Extra snuggles and kisses at bedtime (or anytime for that matter)
The way you look at me and smile
Watching you two play together and make eachother laugh
Ticklish spots
Getting to be there to watch you learn and grow
Listening to Ella growl every time she sees a lion
The funny look Charlie gets on his face when I feed him something new
Saying family prayers with you
Watching you play with your Dad, and the look on his face when he is playing with you
Taking you for walks to the park
Ella taking Charlie's hand and pulling him (with my help) into the play room to play with her
Reading books to you
Listening to Ella yell at the ants outside our house
But my favorite part of being your mom is getting the chance to love you more than I thought possible
I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for entrusting you to me, and I hope that when I see him again I can look him in the eyes and know that I did the best job I could.
I also want to let you know how happy I am to have such a wonderful husband who is an amazing dad as well. He made my Mother's Day special this year by installing a new knob on my shower. I had been complaining about the knob on my shower since we moved into this house in 2006, and he was so sweet to listen and do something for me that he knew I would appreciate. He also knew that I wanted a good night's rest, which hasn't happened in a looong time, so he slept on the floor in the hallway outside your rooms so that he would hear you wake up and take care of you while I slept. On top of all that, he also made sish ka-bobs and fried rice from scratch for me for dinner tonight. For dessert, he made homemade vanilla bean gelato. It was so yummy! I hope some day you are as lucky as I am to find a spouse who will make you feel special, not just on the holidays, but everyday.
Call me cheesy, but I love my family. Happy Mother's Day to me!
Love,
Mother
