I LOVE babies. I love how cuddly and squishy they are. I love hearing them laugh. I love hearing their first words. Although I don't love being woken up at night, I love that on the rare occasion that my 19 month old wakes me, he pats my back the way I pat his in reassurance. I love how affectionate he is. He smooths his little fat hand along my arm when he sits on my lap just to let me know he appreciates my presence.
I love my 5 year old too. How amazingly smart kids are. I've heard that each generation is smarter than the last. I don't know if that's true or if the truth is really that each new generation of parents is equally awed at how quickly children learn and absorb information...and then spout what they've learned. My 5 year old can snap his fingers, sing a song after having only heard it twice, and blow a bubblegum bubble. His stories are insanely long though. He gets that from me. It's the old mother's curse: "One day you'll have a child who is JUST LIKE YOU!" He's a lot of fun, but boy, he can talk you're ear off!
These are just random thoughts I had today.

Kami, I love babies too :) ... I have two sisters in town this week both of them have 5 month old babies. I can't get enough of them ... There is truly something beautiful about babies. I'm SO thankful to be a MOM and to have children to live, love and laugh with. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!
