What Is the Best Thing About Being a Mom

The I Love Yous that come out of no where
The truly sincere hugs
Snuggling!
The innocent and unconditional, unspoiled love they have for you
crying becuase you leave
them chosing to introduce you to their friends

Holding my children in my arms when they are sleeping.

When you go to pick them up after working all day, and they will bull doze everything in their way just to get into your arms.

When your toddler takes a second from her day to give you a hug and pat your back with those tiny little hands and say, "wuf u!"!

Seeing my son smile and hearing his laugh! That's the best sound in the world!

So many things!!!

-That sweet baby smell!
-The first gummy smile that melts your heart!
-The random "I love you Mommy".
-Getting to experience the world again through innocent eyes.

Everything. In short, everything about being a mother is "the best thing". On the deepest, most profound level, though, when you become a mother, you finally learn the true meaning of "unconditional love".

Realizing a whole new level of love... before I had kids I truly could not imagine loving anyone as much as I loved my dogs. How awful that sounds now, as much as I still love them - having children literally seemed to open up a whole new kind of love that I never dreamed existed.

When they first say "Mama"! Its wonderful!

I agree with the momma that said holding their child in her arms while they sleep...that is a love like none other. But I also was overwhelmed with love the first time my son kissed me because he wanted to, not because I asked.

Waking up and getting those sweet morning hugs to start your day. Seeing the joy in their faces when they see you after being apart! How hearing the first cries of my baby being born always made me cry........Experiencing an unconditional love that only grows stronger every day of your childs life!

Knowing that your child thinks you can do anything!
