I'M A STAY AT HOME OF TWO, MY BOY NATHON WHO'S 3 1/2YRS OLD AND MY GIRL VALENTINAH WHO'S 1 3/4 YS OLD...BEING A MOM IS A FULL TIME JOB IN ITSELF, LOVING THEM IS EASY AND BEING ABLE TO WATCH THEM GROW RIGHT UNDERNEATH YOUR NOSE IS A BLESSING...I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF BEING A MOMMY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO IF I WASN'T!...
GOD HAS BLESSED US ALL WITH HIS CHILDREN TO WATCH AND GUIDE THEM INTO THEIR JOURNEY...ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HAVE PATIENCE; A BIG ONE, AND LOVE THEM....
IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT ONCE YOUR CHILD LOOKS AT YOU, YOU KNOW THE NEXT MOMENT WILL BE JUST AS PRECIOUS!...

Enjoy them because in a blink of an eye, they're on their own. My 22 year old son moved out last summer and I miss him like crazy. He came for a visit yesterday and took his 13 year old sister clothes shopping and bought her three pair of jeans and eleven tops. I cry watching old family videos. I miss them when they needed me. I miss it all;  the nursing, cloth diapers, all of it! We're all very affectionate with eachother, so there's still kisses and hugs and I love yous. They even still lie their head on my lap while they're watching TV. My daughter is a big busted blue eyed blonde thats 5'9" and looks older than she is. I fear the empty nest is closing in...lol. All I ever wanted to be was a mom. I tell my son that my world didn't have colour until he was born. I call him my rainbow, and my daughter (and husband) my sunshine. The hardest part is letting go...especially when they're such great kids! Its enough to break your heart, even though letting them go when they're adults is part of the journey. Its hard to find anything to fill the time that comes close to the feeling of being someones mommy. Enjoy your babies! I hate people that take their kids for granted, they just don't realize what a gift they have.

They do grow up fast! I see it everyday with mine! He's 3 and it feels like yesterday he was only 6lbs and so tiny! Man, I miss that! He's 3 now and full of energy . And i wouldn't trade him for the world!

I do know people who view it as a job.  Those are the ones who will have regrets later on in life.  Kids grow up too fast.  If you don't cherish them now they will be all grown before you know it.

Your so right! It's just a shame more people don't look at raising children as a blessing! Most people look at like it's a job !
