{ Toddler Tuesday Poems and Previews...}

This toddler makes lots of squishy hug and kissy noises and makes lots of dog noises and makes me mad sometimes, makes me laugh, makes big messes, makes me hug and kiss him and makes me want to pinch him when he is so bad in Sacrament or in the store. This toddler makes me wonder what life was like before children. I'm so glad I have this toddler in my life. I just love him so much.

This toddler makes me smile to watch her play, she makes me laugh at her funny words and phrases, she makes me cry when she gets hurt and says I want my mommy, she makes me hope that life is always good to her. Makes me smile with her cuteness. She makes me appreciate princesses and barbies and good books since she always wants to do one of them with me.

She makes me feel so glad to be her mom!

This boy makes me so proud to have a son who cares so deeply for others, who has a zest for life and learning, who makes me so mad sometimes I don't even know what to do with him, he makes me smile when he tells me he loves me every day before school, he makes me laugh with his sarcastic humor (because its so like something I would say), he makes me proud when he sticks up for his brother and sister, he makes me laugh when he says our next baby boy's name is going to be obi one konobi and thinks he is the funniest kid in the world, he makes me Happy.

(A friend sent this to me and I love it its so true!!)

Before I was a Mom

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on.

Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child

so doctors could do tests.Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her children.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle

of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a mom.

This has nothing to do with any of this but I'm

So excited for this Aug 2/2008:

Have a great day and a Happy Valentines Day make it a good one for everybody.
