There are some sounds that warm the heart of a mother, like nothing else.
Giggling, happy children.
Hearing, “I’d love to share with you!”
The sound of a brand new baby making those unbelievably cute brand new baby noises while they sleep.
Hearing, “We’d love to have him/her over any time…He/she is so polite!”
A quiet, whispered, “I love you, Mommy,” as you snuggle close.
There are also some sights that warm the heart of a mother, like nothing else.
Like this:
I had prepared their waffles for them, and everyone was sitting in their seats, on opposite sides of the table, when I went to get dressed. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
I got dressed, came back to the kitchen, and this is what I found.
Like magnets, they are drawn to each other.
They just want to be together.
When they watch a movie together, not only are they all touching, but they are usually smushed onto one cushion on the couch, limbs entwined, or laying on my bed, Monkey Girl on her stomach, and the boys laying across her back.
These kids love each other.
Life, seriously, does not get any better than this.
Awww, that’s so sweet!
