The Best Things About Being a Mommy

In honor of Mother's day, I thought I would list some of my favorite things about being a mommy.

1. Mommies get lots of hugs and kisses every day.

2. Mommies get super-powers like:
- Super Speed- while changing a diaper
- Super Hearing- when Abi was a newborn, the littlest noises would wake me up
- Super Strength- you try carrying an extra 15-20 pounds around all day; not easy
- Super Patience- very handy
- Super Healing- Mommies kisses always make ow-ies feel better
- And this one power that lets you function during the day on very little sleep; not sure what it's called

3. Kids love their mommies, despite their flaws.

4. Sometimes, mommies get snuggles just because.

5. Mommies get to see their little ones' eyes light up over the smallest things

And my very favorite thing about being a mommy:

I get to love, teach, watch, learn from, tickle, play with and take care of this precious little girl every day.
