A few of my favorite things about being a mom

I had to share/vent:

1. Children who have to have their plug (pacifier) in to fall asleep, but continually pull them out. And when you wrap them up tight so they can't get their arms out to pull their plug out them get mad and still don't fall asleep.
2. Children who share their illness with their siblings and parents.
3. Children who cry and get upset for no reason.
4. Children who, on their own, continually roll from their back to their stomach and then get mad they are on their stomach. Especially when you know they can roll from their stomach to their back.
5. Children who have to be next to each other, but then get mad when one of them is touching the other.
6. Children who refuse to eat their lunch or dinner and then 10 min later tell you "I'm hungry".
7. Children who cry every time you comb their hair, even when there are no tangles.
8. Children who need to eat and while you are feeding them they reach up and push the bottle away over and over. Especially when it's 5 in the morning.
9. Children who ask you the same question over and over and over even when you've already given them an answer.
10. Children who are as stubborn and you and your husband.

But then they smile at you, or give you a hug or a kiss, or say something really cute, or do something nice for one of their siblings, or any number of things and all the annoying stuff is forgotten (most of it). I really love being a mom and wouldn't trade it or any of my kids for anything.
