Monday's Muse - I'll be there

I woke up this morning and looked at my three sleeping children. I studied their little faces before they woke up and got involved in the issues of the day.

Little princess. You have already brought so much positive change and joy to our lives. They do say that good things come in small packages. :-) Your smile has the power to distract me from anything else going on and make me laugh with you. I can tell already that you're going to be a bigger handful than your mama ever was. Grandma did always wish I'd have one just like me.... hmmm gonna have to keep an eye on you!

Little man. You're an amazing little dude. You're tougher than most realized. You're brilliant and kind and... when did you get to be so funny! I love that you're comfortable enough with your mama to be you. And I love that you are always looking out for me. You've got great things in your future. Mama believes in you!

Firstborn. You grew up on me, Mister! I got the chance to look at you yesterday when you didn't know I was looking. Sneaky me. :-) You're not the child you were a month ago. You're turning into a young man, and I know all of a sudden that your questions are not the precocious inquisitiveness they were just the other day. I know that they're going to a deeper place now. Don't grow up too fast baby. And remember, even if you think you can do it on your own, I'm here if you need a hand.

I've been a mother for eight years now. But this past week has made me reflect a lot on what that means. So much of what we do, we do without thinking about it. I've had the chance to really think about it, and re-commit to each of you. And it really comes down to three little words.
