Thirteen Things I Love About My Kids
- Madison's little patches of freckles on the tops of her cheekbones and nose.
- The way Ryan whispers to his "mom dog" while fluffing the pillow and getting the blankets just right, right before falling asleep.
- Morgan's favorite sayings "Peas can we...?" Peas can you lay with me, peas can we go swimming, peas can you help me? And "Peat after me..." when she wants to play repeating games.
- When Connor was a baby, singing him to sleep when he was so incredibly tired and watching him shake his foot when he heard the black bird coming to "snip off her nose"!
- Their ability to turn anything in the house into something completely different. ie: Legos stacked high become rockets and castles, but turned upside down they become drinking glasses and bowls for cereal. Books become serving trays at the restaurant, weebles become ice cream cones, kitchen chairs lined up become school buses or cars. The kitchen bench becomes bunkbeds. They make believe for hours!!!
- The way Madison helps so much with Connor, making bottles and getting diapers.
- The nightly ritual = Moochies, huggies, fives, fist bumps, finger bumps, "love you you're my best friend ever".
- The fact that the nightly ritual has been shortened to moochies.
- "Mommy, I wanna 'nuggle' you".
- Their beautiful smiles.
- Connor turning from a baby to a "little boy". Walking, talking, getting teeth, getting his own personality. I love it, but it makes me sad too.
- Scratching Ryan's back when he can't (or won't) get to sleep.
- "Mommy, I love you."
