I am a mother of a 4 month old baby boy and the thing I love the most about my motherhood is to watch my baby smile when he looks at me. I used to get very irritated when I took a baby ion my arms and the baby would start crying to go back to her mother. Now that I am a mother I know for sure that my baby wont cry why I take him in my arms. Thats the lighter side of it but on a serious note I really treasure every moment that I watch him smiling at me. That innocent, pure smile of his makes me forget all troubles of life. What about you?

I have 3 girls and the thing I enjoy most about being a mother is when my girls ask favors or anything that has to be done in schools, like projects, drawings, dance choreography, presentations and the like, and in return express their gratitude because they got a high grade or an exemplary remark, and that they feel so happy and proud, it makes me very happy because of what we accomplished together.

My favourite thing is holding a a sleeping child. My oldest is three and I still love to sit in the rocking chair cuddling him while he sleeps. This doesn't happen very much anymore so I cherish every moment. My daughter (she's two) has always been pretty independent - prefering to go to sleep in her own bed. So the times when she has let me rock her to sleep are wonderful memories that make me smile. My baby is five months old and I've probably spoiled him a little since I know that he is my last child. I sit and hold him long after he has fallen asleep - reluctant to set him down. I figure I have plenty of time to finish the house work after they are all in bed.

yes they're so sweet when they are so tiny and they smile. My daughters and 4 and 2 years old they do some bad things but mostly cute.....But when they do something bad and they are soooo proud of what they did and are jumping up and down with excitement..."mommy look, mommy see pretty!" And you see they draw on the wall with a marker and got it on the carpet too, you wanna be mad but all you can do is smile cause for the life of them they can't figure out why something so pretty is bad....good on paper which is white, but bad on wall which is white? hm...where did I go wrong lol! Anyways I think kids are great no matter what.
