The one question that I ask myself everyday as a stay home mom is “WHY IN THE WORLD AM I DOING THIS?” Especially on particularly bad days where the house is a mess, I’ve got crazy hair and Tru is driving me up the wall, that question pops up at least 4-5 times. I could have been chilling out at a proper job, sipping my lattes and having some decent conversation with proper adults.
And if not for all the little moments that make me stop and go “awww…”, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far.
Here’s my list of Classic Moments as a Mom:
1. The way Tru giggles his head off at the most banal, mundane things like Mommy folding clothes or changing the sheets. Once in a while, he’ll even try to help.
2. Sometimes he’ll be all engrossed with his toys, but he’ll suddenly stop, look up and flash me a giant grin.
3. The look of delight and annoyance when I smother him with kisses. He’ll be all like “Moommm, I’m a big boy now… but here, you missed a spot”
4. When Tru wakes up in the morning, he’ll press his cheeks against mine and then start shouting in my ear.
5. No matter how much discomfort he’s in, he’ll still try to suck it up and bear with it.
6. The look on his face after he wakes up from a really long nap.
