I love this topic because I love my children so very much. I am so blessed and fortunate to have 2 wonderful children.
Best memories? Well they keep happening everyday, but I will share one for now (although the list could go on forever!).
My daughter was in the 5th grade. (her teacher told me this story and I couldn't have been more proud!) There was this young lady in her class that was somewhat overweight and very quiet. Always sat alone, wore her hair down over her face, never talked. So, one day my girl went up and asked the young lady to sit with her at lunch. At first she said no, but finally my daughter convinced her to come over to their table and eat. She did. Well, within the first 5 or so minutes, one of the girls sitting across from my daughter, one of her 'friends', whispered to her " hey, what's she doing sitting here? she's not in our group!". My daughter replied, "I asked her too." The 'friend' asked again, "why, she's NOT in our group." My daughter replied, "I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that I was in a 'group'. I asked her to have lunch with me/us and I guess if you have a problem with it you can move."
I was so proud to hear this! After that the young lady became good friends with my daughter. I'd like to think that helped her to realize she was just as special as everyone else in that class.
So, what are one of your memories?

Hi!
Wow, it just makes a mother's heart so proud to have a child like yours. She's very compassionate about other kids and sees the goodness out of everybody around her.
My son is only seven months old and has made me proud with each little achievement everyday. I loved it when he learned to babble, roll over, sit up on his own, stand up, ate his first solids and so on. I'm waiting when he'll learn to walk. I love my son so much!

I can tell the love you have for your child! Enjoy each and every moment! And cherish each memory for when he is older the two of you will sit back and laugh and relive each one! And love it!
Good luck with your little one! Thank you so much for sharing!

My best memory is when dr. brought my son in room for first time and said he was ok. I had a real rough last 4 months carring him. And they thought he would be born with some problems. But he wasnt. That was my bes tmemory.

My pregnancy with my daughter was a rough one as well. Back and forth to the doctor several times a month. The doctors weren't sure if I would be able to carry her full term and then they weren't sure if she was going to be healthy with no issues either. So all the way up until the moment of her birth we weren't sure, but when she came she was beautiful and everything was ok!!
Oh, sidenote, she's my miracle baby too! I was never supposed to be able to have any more children!

Well I could not thing of any best memories to share as there lots. Maybe this one when I was suddenly sick because I swallowed a big fish bone. My son whom I thought did not care for me showed his concern when I told him about what happened. The bone remained in my throat overnight. My son peeped at my room almost every after a few minutes and asked how I was. I had a hard time thinking of where to go until at about dawn I called my cousin who was on duty at the city hospital and asked her what to do. She immediately called her friend who is a EENT specialist and asked for me to go to her house for the necessary removal of the bone. Then that was removed. The care that my son gave me made that moment memorable.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well m glad to know about your memory and would like to wish all the happiness good luck and success to u and your family in the future. Well my mother used to say that she was very naughty during her childhood days and had once fled from her school without the knowledge of her teachers and parents and had gone to a nearby pond for swimming and unfortunately she was caught by her parents the next day as one of her teacher informed about her absence at school. He he he.
What say?

What great stories! A lot to be proud of. I, myself, have a 4 and 5 year old daughter and son that have the strangest relationship. Some days they can play so well together, and other days, well, we won't go there. But, I do know that my son cares for and loves his little sister. Especially when at Preschool, when she was being "harassed" by one of the other children, my son stood up for his little sister and protected her. And he did so without hitting or calling the little boy names. He handled it better than most adults handle arguments! He walked in-between the two of them, took his sister by the hand and led her away. And told the little boy to "Leave my sister alone. She didn't do anything to you." I was so proud of him when the girls at Preschool told me I almost cried!

I know you were so proud of him! And couldn't we learn something from that incident? Children, what a true blessing!

recently my daughter surprised me when she presented to me her gold medal in write tool contest in editorial cartooning..this was second time to participate and she always won..as a mom always proud of her not only that she always on top of her class and active in any other school activities..even she the only one yet i dont spoiled her. being a mom big or small achievement or who they are when they grow up is a reflections of us being their mother..we played a very important role in molding their totality so we always have the best memory for them and vice versa...happy mylotting

Thank you for sharing! You are right, no matter how big or small, the most important thing is that they know we love them and are proud of them, no matter what! But that we also teach them it's not all about winning or being first, it's that they do their very best and they tried!
