- Brenna, I love how you love to eat. You certainly come by it honestly.
- Joseph, I love how you get so excited to see your big sister.
- Brenna, I love it how smart you are getting. The other day I couldn’t find my keys and you said, “look in you bag?”.
- Brenna, I love it that when I was cleaning up your bed in the middle of the night after you were sick I heard from the floor where you were cuddled up in a blanket a very small weak voice say, “tanks mama.”
- Brenna, I love it that you love to play with your friends and everytime we leave the house you hope that we are going to “ryannoelle’s” house or “ethan” house or “drace’s” house.
- Joseph, I love the way that you move your little feet and hands excitedly when you see food coming.
- Joseph, I love it that you are so plump and healthy .
- Joseph, I love it that you look so much like a boy even though you are only 8 months old.
- And Joseph, those bright blue eyes…..
- Brenna, I love it how at the park you spend about half the time playing and half the time watching the other kids.
- Brenna, I love it how when you fall down you immediately say, “I’m otay.” You are a tough little thing
- Brenna, I love your brown curly hair.
- Brenna, I love it that you take such food care of your dolls and teddy bears. You will be a good little mama some day.
- Joseph, I love how you lurch for me when we are both sitting on the floor as if you would do anything to get to me even if it means getting stuck on your tummy.
- Brenna, I love you you give your little brother hugs and kisses.
- Joseph, I love how you are irresistably drawn to look at cars as they drive by. You are such a boy.
- Brenna, I love how you play with your Daddy.
- Joseph, I love how you cuddle on my shoulder
- Brenna, I love how you bring me a bowl full of dress-up beads and call it “bead soup.”
- Joseph, I love watching you nurse.
- Brenna, I love you only sing every third or fourth word of songs
- Joseph, I love how you look at me as if I am the center of your universe. I guess I am the center of your universe. I love that too.
- Brenna, I love how when you haven’t see me for part of the day you say, “Mama!! And come running for a hug.”
- Brenna, I love it that you still chew on your blankets. It reminds me that you still have a little baby left in you.

You made me cry. I wish I was there to see these things in your children, too.

Precious. Isn’t that the essence of being a mommy? One day you feel like you can’t take it anymore — gotta get out, get away, get a break, get a life–and then you turn around and get turned into a puddle of mush by those very same dear sweet munchkins. It’s the best job in the whole wide world, I tell ya.
