Motherhood is...

Being quietly awed by sweet sibling moments.

Simoltaneously melting and laughing at a toddler newly up from nap with crazy nap-hair.

Taking thousands of mental pictures everyday of the most precious moments.

Realizing that your "baby" is becoming less so every day.

Moments after dinner of silly talk and cuddles.

Doing my best to cultivate that sibling love that takes on flesh at the most wonderful moments.

Having my heart slip out of my chest every time I see my sunshine boy.

Recognizing that time is flying by so much faster than I could ever have imagined.
