Report AbuseI love when my kids say silly things. It just makes me laugh, especially when I've had a bad day. Last night my 2 yr. old and I were in the grocery store. He was sitting in the bottom of the grocery cart just watching and suddenly says to me "momma, that lady is following us" (referring to the woman walking behind us). It was too cute, especially coming from a 2 yr. old. Even she laughed. My other son, a 3 yr. old also gets a kick out of the freckles on my face. He'll tell me I need to go wash my face because there are bugs on it. So I'll wipe it off and ask him if they're gone and he'll say "no, you have to use the Elmo soap."

Report AbuseI love this. You know what I love the most? Seeing their eyes light up when I come home from work, and the hugs and kisses. The little giggles and them falling asleep as I read a book to them before bed time.

Report AbuseI am 38, single and dont have children, and lately I have felt that I really missed out on the motherhood part. To all the mothers, I salut you for all the great work you do. Mothers do rock! No matter how old you are, a mother is the best gift God gave us. To all the mothers on behalf of all children, I say THANK YOU!

Report AbuseLove this and all the previous comments too - how wonderful it is to be a parent!
I frequently ask my husband, "What did we ever do that was so much fun before we had our daughter?"
