We signed up for parenthood, is this what we wanted? Last week I wrote about when being a parent is not so much fun (check out Last week’s Blog), but there is a definite flip side.
Here are 10 special fleeting moments you may experience as a parent…
- The ‘I’m not awake yet but good morning’
- The spontaneous giggles – infectious!!
- When they say a word incorrectly – my teenage daughter still says the television is fuzzily, not fuzzy, it was too cute for me to ever correct her… hehe.
- When they try and cook you breakfast in bed – “yummm” … 5 sugars in the coffee and pancakes with tomato sauce! AND you must try to enjoy?!?
- The snuggle of a sleeping child when moving them from the car into their bed. Precious.
- When they ask the dog a question and look at him long enough expecting him to answer…
- The expression on their face… says it all… when tasting food that is a new experience…
- When they literally jump up and down with excitement… Too cute.
- When they smile, use the word ‘mummy’ and look you right in the eye (melt!!).
- When they are reading their teddy a story.
Being a parent is a privilege, not everyone appreciates those tender moments and our children grow up so quickly. Next time this happens, smile, and appreciate the gift your child is giving.
