1.
Discovering the epidural… with the last birth
out of three.
2.
The smell of my children’s heads.
3.
Tricking Andy into getting up every night to
change diapers.
4.
Listening to my nine year old son explain his
underwater sea base from which he is going to rule the world. “So, as a mom of
an evil overlord, can I have Hawaii?” He gave that some thought and finally
said ‘sure.”
5.
Discovering my oldest daughter is an artist when
she used a rock to draw on the side panel of my car. She was so proud of her
work – for about ten seconds. It’s possible that that is also the moment she
realized I was a lot faster than she was – at four.
6.
Watching my youngest toddler out-tease her
teasing grandfather.
7.
Watching my youngest boss her two older siblings
around – still a toddler – and have them do what she says.
8.
Teaching all three kids the proper way to burn
marshmallows over an open fire.
9.
Taking my eleven year old son out in Age of
Empires after he kept stealing his sister’s sheep. “Mom, why are your trebuchet’s
in my town?” “Uh, we’re just visiting?”
10.
Visiting the zoo to take youngest daughter to
see “her lemur.”
11.
Any time I have a child’s head in my lap in need
of some mental massage.
12.
Sunday night dinners.
13.
Any time we all get to be together.
14.
Any moment when I’ve seen my children realize
how unique and amazing they are – in and of themselves – because they keep
following their passions with courage and heart.
