I love all three of my kids. They are all special to me and to God in many ways. I adore them. They each all, have many unique qualities that are very sweet. Just the other day, my son gave me a hug, and I asked him why he hugged me and he said because he liked me... I though that was so sweet.. My son from time time tells me that he loves me.. And my oldest daughter too. After hugging me, my son then told me that my face smells good, and I curiously asked him what does it smell like, and he told me, "cream". I found this to be funny.. I said to myself, Wow! On myLot, I go by the name cream97, and here goes my son telling me what I smell like, my name!! He does not know that I go by cream97 at myLot.. I even asked him if he saw anything on my face today, and he told me no, that it was pretty.. I smiled.. There are many things that I talk to my kids about and things that they also tell me.. I was asking my 3 year old daughter yesterday what she wanted to eat, she smiled and thought to herself and then she slants her head, and says, "I know"... She was trying to figure out what she wanted to eat.. It was so cute how she did it.. As a mother, I enjoy spending time with my children. I know that I have so much going on in my life, but I try to embrace their company. What are some sweet things that your children or grandchildren do, that makes you smile? Please share them with me. Thanks!

Well, there are so many things that my son does that really makes me feel great. As you can see, I always travel a lot and when I am not traveling, I go home late due to my work. But when I am home and when my 6 year old son sees me very tired, he would always come to my side and try to massage me. My head, my body and then says to me.. Don't worry daddy, I will give you a massage so that you won't be tired anymore. Well those words alone already makes me feel great.

i only have 1 child, and he's so sweet, he never fails to tell me that he loves me. sometimes at a fastfood while waiting for our turn to order, he would hug me and say I LOVE YOU, MOMMY, those around us will smile and start talking to him, telling him that he's nice. and several times at home, he would just blurt out that he loves me, those three words were his usual first thing to say in the morning, not the usual good morning, but i love you mommy, i love you daddy!
i think since i practice saying whatever i feel the moment i felt it, he absorbed it too. you see, when i feel love for someone, especially for my baby and his daddy, i would just blurt it out out of nowhere... sometimes while washing the dishes or our clothes and i felt the feeling, i would shout it out "DADDY" and when he answers back, i will shout bsck, "I LOVE YOU" just like that... i can tell too that he doesn't say it when he doesn't feel it, because three days ago, i scolded him for not taking his afternoon naps, and i think he's still a bit angry at me, because he's not saying and telling me that he loves me, but today, were back to normal, he's been bugging me with ILOVEYOUs again, and if i don't reply he'll ask me if i love him still... he would even sit beside me and say "MOMMY, LET ME KISS YOU, PLEASE... PLEASE JUST A KISS" begging me to let him kiss me and to kiss him back.
i think kids really are like sponges, they absorb everything we say and do, so we should be careful with what we do in front of our children, and i'm glad that he absorbed that gesture.... my arvee's really sweet and just like any other kids, a bit naughty... and i hope he'll get over it in time.. SMILE!, MAI

I am not a parent. However, I can enjoy the joy you faced. I have little nephews and nieces and I find them sweet and adorable when they are about 3-4 years old. It is just cute little things that comes out when you least expect it that brings out the smile. The recent little things my niece did was to attempt to walk on my legs and then plop... she will fall onto me laughing.

I've not been a mother yet.so I can't feel your sweety turely.but I'm also a daughter as to my parents,I can't feel any of the sweety or love from them.how can be ture?Yes,indeed.they always brought others who were good at some ways to compare with me and said that "how wonderful they are!and what about you!how can like them!"Especially even more,when I asked them some questions of that I haven't learnt,setdowning and vituperation would come with surely even though they answered.For example,I asked them,"how much the price of the rice nowadays?""how can you care on this?you just eating?can you know the earning from the hardship? Let's just wait for the times coming,then you would get the nemesis."and more of the cases like this there were.I can't discribe them currectly.In fact,this isn't just only belonging to my family,but most of the Chinese families.I think that it is just the vulgar vanity borning in the soiciety.however whether the kids truely mistake,it always gabble as soon as they found the disadvantage or mistakes of the children.because it's a sense of accomplishment for them,they feel so high and remarkable from that.

My youngest daughter is like a little mother hen. She's always wanting to take care of everyone and make sure they are happy. She covers my legs with a blanket when I'm on the couch and tells me I need to rest. She keeps me in line too..lol..if I get irritated with a driver on the road and start to get angry she'll say...Noww mommm..lol..She is a godsend for sure. My middle girl likes to paint my nails and fix my hair. She's a lot of fun too. I love my children very much and I love spending time with them too. I think that it's important to enjoy them now because they grow up so fast.

I have three children as well. They all have their own personalities and little quirks that I love so much.
I would be completely lost without them. They are my pride and joy. My entire world!

Happy saterday cream97. Let me tell you about a little story of me and my son for about 15 years ago.
I have always been overweight, so I started the weight watchers and lost aboout 20 pounds. One day when my son hugged me he said, you no longer feel like my mother. And I did understand that. Before he had more to hugg than after a year and losing about 20 kilos. However, he did understand why I had to do it.
Kids are the best we have, they realle say what they mean, and you can never cheat them.
Today my son is 17 and he helps me out with little and big stuff when I am in need. He is really sweet and I get always god feedback as a mother from him and from others that know him well. I have done a god job as a mother. And that feels great.
Me an my son spend time together everyday. It is a must, you never know what happen in the future, and you should take every moment to be with your kids as much as You can.
Kids are your bless

Well, to respond to this is easy I have one daughter 16 and one son 14. And, my daughter played her flute in the St. Pats Day Parade today. My son and I watched the whole thing. I was proud of her and my son caught me everything he could. He would say look mom what I got this time. He would let me pick out what candies or necklaces I wanted first then he would get the others. I would pick the one's I knew he did want and left the one's he did. He got a few thing for his step-dad (who had to work)and things for his sister too! He looked at me many of time and asked if I was having fun! He was great! And, at the end my daughter smile I told her I was proud and we hugged 2 times a I kissed her cheek twice in between conversation. They are at a friend birthday party now together! They get along more now!
**Peace and Love get's you through everything in Life**

Hi cream.
Your children are so sweet. I must say that your post made me smile.
I have one daughter who is a teen now and a day doesn't pass by without her hugging me. She tells me about things that happen to her in school, we share secrets and we even play video games until now. I'm very happy that even though she is already a teenager, she is still very affectionate to me and her dad. We love her so much.
One more thing that makes me smile everyday is that she never fails to call me right after school to tell me that she misses me already.
Thanks. I had a wonderful time responding to your post.
Cheers!

My children are very sweet. I lucked out big in the kids department. They are always telling me that they love me SOOOOOOOOO much, and they are always giving me kisses and snuggles. I don't think that there has been a day since they were born, that they haven't made me smile. Whenever my oldest daughter helps out her little sister, it makes me smile. I love seeing them get along, it makes me feel that when me and their father aren't around, they will have eachother to lean on. I smile whenever they try to clear the table for me, or try to help me fold my laundry or just try to do just about anything. I love it when I finally find the time to sit down and they start rubbing my feet, like they know that I have been working hard to keep the house looking good for me. I smile everytime they snuggle with me at night just before bed, or when they wish me goodnight and sweet dreams. I think that my children in general just have the power to make me smile. I love everything about them and what they do. I am truely blessed with wonderful children. I am glad that your children are good to you and I hope they continue to be throughout the rest of your lives. Happy mylotting.
