"Mama"

My kids are the best.
Today, all these things happened.
Quinn: "Hey mom! I like... no, I LOVE helicopters!"
(completely random-- yet hilarious)
Hendrix: tonight I'm putting him to sleep. And maybe I had held him too long? But I put him down in his crib and he said, "Tomorrow... when I get up... you can hold me." I can't wait :)
Veda: "mama..."  (no joke!!! she said mama!!! she may have been babbling and didn't know what she was saying, but she still said it. over and over and over) I love her.
I love being a mom. My kids make my life awesome. I love being with them everyday. Babies are the BEST-- two year olds are too-- and 4 year olds :)

Even though every day I feel kinda like how I look in this picture--loopy and tired, I still love all the hard work they make me accomplish.

Amber-you are such a fantastic mom!!! I love how you said "I love all the hard work they make me accomplish." So well put... it is interesting how much our children help us to accomplish as well as the people they help us aspire to be.

So cute. Norah points to your picture and says: "What's her name?"
ME: "Amber."
Nors: "Oh, that's a good, pretty name. What do you have on your shirt Amber? You have a tiny baby on your shirt."

So thanks for your post inspiring an awesome convo with my 3 year old! Love it.

Don't kids just say the cutest things (that often don't really make much sense)? I'm glad you're writing some of this down. I LOVE that family pic.
