July 17 Your Silly Mama!There's nothing more wonderful first thing in the morning, to open your eyes and see a gorgeous, tiny, giggling face! Children are the most wonderful blessing God could ever give us. Most mothers know...you could have had only half an hour's sleep the entire night...but the second you wake and look upon your gorgeous child....and they smile that special smile that's just yours...your heart melts! You'll love them forever..you'll sit by their side at all hours of the night when they have a bad tummy ache...you'll drive to their school to drop off their lunchbox when they've left it at home...you'll buy them that book they want when you know you just bought them one last week...you'll cut them another slice of birthday cake, but only because she's just so gorgeous smilling at you like that!
Every morning I see my girls, I thank God for giving them to me. And every night before I fall asleep..I thank God again. Their beautiful smiles permeate each of my days with the sweetest sunshine. And each day brings more memories to store in my heart (and my hard drive! LOL)
I was in a children's clothing store the other day, and felt such a pain in my heart to look at the small baby clothes..and to think it wouldnt be much longer and I would never buy clothes this size again. Never have a need to stroll through the baby department and "owww" and "ahhh" at all the gorgeous, tiny outfits. I hold Gwendolyn in my arms and remember when she was so tiny. We would call her "The littlest Griffin that ever there was!" And to us she was! Only six pounds..with the tiniest fingers and toes...and I so wanted one of those photos where the parents hold their newborn in one hand. Know the one? And everyday I looked at her little face and thought, I must take that photo this weekend. But before I knew it...she'd grown too big to take that shot. I watch my children as each milestone passes...comparing one to the other...Bethy was crawling at nine months..Gwen's not quite there yet, but she has four teeth...and Beth didnt at the same age. And all this time my heart aches for them to be tiny babies again.
But while all this heartache fills my silly Mummy heart...Mark reminds me of something...something my heart had made me forget.
One of my biggest dreams is to sit at my dinningroom table when I'm sixty (or so..) and gaze upon my children, and their children. Many friends and family members have thought Mark and I where crazy to have three children. Well...yeah maybe (and I could even agree with them at eight in the morning when they're all screaming..wanting breakfast, juice..the boob! LOL) but what every parent knows..or comes to realise, is that those crazy days of diapers, teething and homework are only with you for such a short time in your life. They will always be your babies..your toddler who holds her breath if you dont pick her up from the floor...your "high maintenence two year old"...and your pre-teen who wont come out of her room all night..
And my babies will ALWAYS be my babies. They are today..and they'll still be my babies when Im sixty and sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner..with their babies!!
So in all the seriousness in my life..Bethy reminds me.. "Your silly Mama!"
Yes my darling baby girl...your Mama IS silly! And she loves you with all her heart!!  Comments (4)
