Things I’m Learning as a Mom

Things I’m Learning as a Mom

* Two year old boys NEVER run out of energy.

* Children really do inherit both good AND bad traits of their parents. Well, of their father, anyway. : )

* Using an electric clippers on a squirmy two year old boy will inevitably lead to bald spots.

* I never thought I’d get sick of hearing “Mommy.”

* You CAN spend TOO much time with your child.

* Two year old boys are prone to do the exact opposite of what you ask.

* When Jacob grabs my face in his little hands and says, “I love you Mommy” the whole world melts away.

* Running in circles around Mommy while she is trying to do the dishes is GREAT fun.

* Watching my sleeping child evokes emotion deeper than the deepest ocean abyss.

* I don’t deserve such an amazing gift as Jacob.

* I understand more about how God loves me.

* I didn’t realize the theme song of Wow Wow Wubbzy would keep me awake in the middle of the night.

* I never knew how hard it was to be a good mom.

* I have a whole new and higher respect for my mom.

* I would protect my child unto death. (Ask me sometime about Henry the rooster if you don’t believe me!)

* Two year old boys like more than anything to bang, jump, climb, make loud noises, and scare their Mommy’s have to death with their stunts.

* I never knew how much one little boy could change my life. Mommy loves you Jacob.
