Day after day we tend to do the daily grind of being a Mommy. We wash, we clean, we cook, we kiss, we tuck-in, encourage, etc, etc, ETC. Sometimes we get not much for the efforts except rolled eyes and the stomp of the feet. Sometimes we get a hug and a kiss from those that have gotten plenty of "lovin" over the years from us. But sometimes you have a moment that makes your heart melt and gives you the pat on the back that you so surely need about all your efforts. I had a moment like that yesturday. I'll share the conversation with you. Let me set it up:
I am in the bathroom doing my hair and Brigam is talking up a storm to me about what? I really don't know. I am just hoping there isn't a test on the subject matter later. Out of the blue -
Brigam says: "Mom, did you go to school to learn how to be a Mom?"
Me: "No."
Dramatic pause while I roll that around in my head.
Me: "Do you think I need to go to school to learn how to be better a Mom?"
Brigam: "No, I just think you're a great Mom and I wondered how you learned how to do that."
Give me lips, boy! That totally made my day and I had to kiss him right then and there!
What a sweetie! I'd like to renew my Mommy contract for another eternity, please!

That is very sweet... I bet he got some special treatment the rest of the day!
Terilyn, thanks for sharing that. It totally made my day,and it wasn't even my kid who said it.
Oh, I love that. Can I pretend my child said it to me? :-)
That is so sweet. I love Briggy!
That is really awesome. My oldest goes polar on me quite regularly either lots of praise or lots of critisms, not hard to guess which I prefer. He is very attentive so the hard thing about the critisms is it is usually true ;)!
I love how you say....Give me lips! I can totally hear you say it! I love Brigham too!
I think we all had training in the pre-existence on being a mom!!
You managed to make me teary eyed! I love moments like that. They make motherhood all the more sweeter!
What a cute story. Brigam is so sweet and he's right: you are a GREAT mom!
I love those tender mercies that give us mom a little adrenalin to keep on keepin on. Thanks for sharing Terilyn. Love it.
