I was so afraid to be a mom. I love kids, I was just scared of babies, and having a baby of my own. Becoming a mom is be the best thing I have ever done in my life. I treasure every day I spend with Samantha. I love being with her and watching her learn and grow. She makes me laugh and makes me cry. I love my job as a Mommy. It is the hardest full time job I have ever had and the best job I have ever had. My job is never done and even when she grows up, it won't be done, as I have learned in my adult life. I dedicate this post to Samantha who is the reason I am a mommy. I hope to teach her and guide her so that she can grow up someday and enjoy being a mommy as much as I do. Sammie, you are a joy, and here are some things you do that make me smile:
1. You said that when I take a shower, I look like a mermaid in a waterfall.
2. You tell me "Mommy I love you, you are my best friend", at random times throughout the day.
3. You ask me to be your horsey and we ride around the house. You use your jumprope for my reins and when you are done riding, you pick my hooves, feed me carrots and tell me "good girl, horsey."
4. You light up a room when you walk in and make others smile too.
5. You love animals, you are curious and you are kind.
6. You have a sense of humor.
7. You have a sense of direction! (unlike me)
8. You love to clean out the "fuzzies" between your toes when you take off your socks, and the other day I asked you if you were "looking for treasure" and you quickly responded, "yep, found some". I love how quick-witted you are!
9. You tell me that I have a sparkly face and sparkly hair and a sparkly eyes.
10. You are you!
