The greatest thing...

I think the greatest thing about being a mother and just being someone who sees a lot of people in their job, is when a baby/toddler smiles at you a genuine smile. It just makes you feel so good inside. I'm lucky because my son is a smiler. :) What do you think is the greatest thing about children?

everything about them is great! i have a daughter, when ever i'm busy, she will always catch my attention, often times, when im the internet she will turn it off, just when i'm about to post my response. she is also smiling a lot, everytime i told her to smile, she would smile,and she always kiss me! but the best moment is, whenever i go out doing some groceries, the moment she hears i'm back, she would run out of the house, shouting and laughing, and meet me at the gate. she is not talking yet, so i guess its her way of saying she is happy to see me back

yes everything is great with babies even when you had to wake up at wee hours just to change diapers or nurse them, you know its all worth it especially when you se them smile. being a single mom, my baby takes off all the stress and weight i feel whenever we are together. my baby is now 8 months old and what an active little boy he is. he loves it more in a big bed than in his crib coz he got more space to move around, you have to watch him more too coz he would climb over pillows and when we does he'd boast over it. he's such a great smiler.. still toothless but such sweet sweet smile. he's really my little angel.

Yep you definatly have to watch them when they're on the bed. My son can climb down now, but he's had some falls off it though. and he loves to sleep in the big bed more than his crib too. mainly, i think, cause he gets to cuddle with mama. :)
