Sacrifices.
To put your kids first and you second.
To give them all the love and support you can possibly give them.
To never having a day off.
Endless piles of laundry.
Wiping bums and noses.
Finding 25 hours in a 24 hour day.
Means being a jungle gym and lap to curl up in when they need you most.
Late nights and early mornings.
Walking around with spit up on you without you even knowing it's there.
Are you lucky enough to squeeze that shower in today? No, that's ok there is always tomorrow!
To have your heart walking around outside of your body.
To watch them grow into little people.
Watching them conquer the world!
Watching your kids play together.
Seeing the love between your kids grow.
Telling your child, "please be gentle with your sister." (a million times a day!)
Telling your kid please don't drink the dog water!
Watching them fall and pick themselves back up again, only to try again.
Broken bones.
Tears.
Smiles. (and lots of them!)
Letting them soak the bathroom while having a bath, because water brings them pure joy!
Bedtime stories.
It's the biggest joy in the world, but boy can it be tough work sometimes. But the smiles, giggles and endless love they give you make it all worth it!
