One of my favorite message boards on BabyCenter.com had a thread on this topic and after reading a bunch of the mother’s posts I decided I wanted to list mine:
1. My son is the most precious thing in the world
2. He’s very photogenic, therefore I think everyone in the family needs at least one picture of every pose
3. Losing my temper makes me feel terrible about myself
4. Even though I have a desire to have more kids, secretly I’m ok with having just one
5. It takes all I have to retain my composure when I’m around a whiny kid
6. I miss breastfeeding even though it’s been a little over a year since I’ve stopped
7. I am so thankful to my hubby for allowing me to stay-at-home
8. I love it that I get to cuddle with Cooper every morning when he gets out of his bed and into mine
9. I allow him to watch WAY more T.V. than he should
10. I now realize that things I used to do quickly can now take me 3-4 times longer with a kiddo
11. I make sure he eats healthy balanced meals but can’t seem to do it myself
12. I judge other moms who give their kids soda
13. I hope that he is into baseball as much as his dad is
14. When he goes to stay with grandma overnight, I start to think about how much I’ll miss him at least two days before he even leaves
15. I have a food addiction and I hope I do not pass it onto him
16. I’m overweight and often wonder what he thinks/will think of that
17. I love to organize his clothes by color and size
18. If I do have more kids I really only want boys (but if I did have a girl I would be fine with it)
19. Love the fact that my son loves music, and not just what is current. He listens to the Beatles, Grateful Dead and anything else we listen to
20. I am trying not to spank unless its absolutely necessary, meaning if he is hurting someone else or doing something that will hurt himself. I don’t want him to be slapped/spanked like I was. My parents only did what they knew how to do. Ev0lution.
21. He came into the world weighing 6lbs and1oz, only I can’t remember him being that little. At the time I didn’t think I would ever forget it
22. I really hope he learns to play guitar. I’ve always wanted to learn how, and I hope someday we will take lessons together
23. It makes me smile to see him get so excited over the smallest things, like building blocks or saying the ABC’s
24. He’s two years old now and I’ve yet to have to deal with vomit
25. I continue to buy him things even though he doesn’t need them!
