Sometimes when I look at my kids I am totally overcome by wonder. They just amaze me, these little people. Not only does every facet of their development, whether it be learning to roll over or finding joy and pleasure in books, amaze and delight me, but just the sheer responsibility for these people can take my breath away.
I love that it is my job to keep them clean and fed and warm - the easy part. I love that it's my responsibility to make sure they are nurtured and kept healthy, and that they grow up knowing love, feeling secure, and immersed in stability.
I find that each step they take away from me in learning to be their own person leaves me feeling both saddened and immensely proud. I want to protect them from anything painful, but my heart leaps with joy when I see them tackle new, and potentially scary, hurdles. Every new accomplishment that my children achieve brings me closer to them, even as they win more and more individuality.
These two little souls are where my heart is now. They are my everything.
