Motherhood...

So, I hardly ever have the radio on when I'm driving. Whatever may be on my mind at the time seems to be easier to concentrate on in the car! (Much to Jaycie's dismay, this is probably why you say I'm a "distracted" driver!) Ha ha!

With that said....What was on my mind in the car today...

Well, just like when you get married, no one really tells you that there's work involved. Well today I was thinking along the same lines of when you have a baby, and become a mom, no one really tells you how much guilt, (or worry is probably a little less harsh) is involved.

Not too sound like I have issues or anything! And definitely not to sound like I'm neglecting Boston by any means. He is my whole world! But, there is so much responsibility being a Mom...

Think about how fast he is growing.   Am I taking it all in?  Am I helping him develop?  Am I taking enough pictures?   Am I teaching him about Heavenly Father and how special he is?    Most importantly am I showing him how much I love him everyday?    Every little toothy smile,   every diaper,   every laugh shared,    every meal,    every errand,    every trip to the park,    every shoe tied,    every hand hold,    every road trip,    every time watching him and dada wrestle,  every song we sing,   every sign,   every tantrum,   every little darling and sweet thing he does... 

I love him more and more with every second that passes. More than there are words to express. 
 
Thank the heavens I don't have to do it alone... I  have a wonderful husband, parents, siblings, in-laws, grandparents, Heavenly Father, friends, etc...

 And Overall, How Rewarding!!!

So, just a little food for thought for the next car ride I guess! Loves!

  2. i think being a mother is the scariest thing in the world! nobody ever really tells you how much responsibility you have. it takes a lot of work to balance the teaching, the disciplining, the playing, the appreciating the little moments. now how do you do that with more than one kid?! that's what worries me!

  3. I totally agree with you. It's become one of my biggest fears that I won't guide my children right, or teach them everything I should have.
