What I Love Most About Being A Mom.

I know I have posted this in my other blog a few months ago, but I'd like it to post it here too where it should belong..after all, this is my Mommy Blog.


Here it goes..
12. Being honored, paid tribute to and receiving gifts (or treats) on Mother’s Day.

11. Feeling a sense of enormous pride for being able to bring into the world a new being, even putting your life at risk.

10. You get to feel kinship and connection with other mothers.

9. You are adored in a certain way that no one can equalize. That melting gaze at you when nursing or that intuitive cognition when he tries to reach and touch your face.

8. You get to practice virtues such as patience and self-control.

7. You have a work fatigue and stress reliever at home. Just seeing his toothless smiles drive the tiredness away.

6. Being silly playing kiddie games or reciting nursery rhymes.

5. Discovering or seeing the world in a different perspective - first car ride, first swimming, first malling experience, first taste of solids, first word, etc.


4. Baby kisses and snuggling.

3. Shopping selflessly. You’d rather fill your shopping baskets with baby clothes than stuffs for yourself.

2. You get to hear the most beautiful music to the ears - baby coos, gurgles, giggles..those ooohs, agoos and aaahs.

1. You get to realize and know the true meaning of unconditional love.

Being a mom definitely changed my life…there was a paradigm shift, I must say. I waited for this momentous experience for so long and I’m just so glad that I’m finally embracing it. It’s definitely tough but there’s nothing that can give me much happiness and fulfillment than being a Mom.

How about you, what do you love most about being a mom?

My kids are older (5 and 9) than your little one so my thoughts are a little different. I enjoy watching them turn into people with their own thoughts, ideas and goals that have nothing to do with me. It is fascinating to see them develop their own beliefs.

i would have to agree with everything you said. on a less sentimental level, i love that i now have an excuse to keep the yummy kid foods in the house that i love so much. cinnamon toast crunch and fruit roll ups for example.

seeing a part of you moving around and doing what you taught them is a reward in itself of being a mom. i have three kids 10, 9 and 6.
