Parenting...over break...I must admit it’s been the easiest this year. They are older and it’s easier but funny how I say I am tired and need a little break. But then this happens.
I go in my phone and see my youngest has taken a ton of selfies. She cracks me up.
Then my middle one falls asleep early on the couch. As I am carrying her to her room she sort of wakes up. I say it’s ok mommy is here. She says I love you. I reply I love you too. She then says over and over I love you more than anyone in the world Mommy. I really do. I say I know you do. Sleep well. I love you too.
My oldest says she loves me more and more. All the time. When I say I love you too more and more she says no way. I love you more.
And it’s true. They do. I know they do. They love me more than anyone in the world. Just like you did too as a kid. Just like your kids do to you.
And there’s moments when it’s tough and tiring. Then there’s moments that they melt your heart and love you more than anyone does. They love you even when you look like a hot mess. They love you because you make them feel safe and loved and taken care of. And all along you love people who do the same for you. Who make you feel loved and taken care of. It’s a cycle. We all want to be taken care or and cuddled and validated and loved. We all want people who make us feel safe and good. 💗
