1. Hugs. When those little arms wrap around your neck and squeeze, when their soft cheeks are pressed up against yours. When they find that little spot to rest their head between your neck and shoulder. It's like a zillion times better when all that is accompanied by a little, "I love you, Mommy."
2. The hilarious things kids say. Having a front row seat to the greatest improv comedy show ever, right in our living room any day of the week. (And thanks to The Winey Mommy, I checked out this site, Heard on the Playground, filled with lots of little gems. But of course my girls are the most hilarious of them all.)
3. Understanding unconditional love. I am so, so far from being a perfect mommy -- but my girls love me anyway. Even when I am at my worst. Even when I am positive I could win for Worst Mommy of The Year Decade Century. They love me, and that makes me want to be a better mommy. A better person.

Mine would be exactly the same! We must have the same type of kids! :)
I can only imagine some of the things that kids say! Love this post! I can't wait to be a parent:)
So very, very true! Especially the one where they love us no matter what -- you could have the worst day and lose your temper and all it takes is a little hug from them to make it all better.
Great post!

AMEN! My two year old is hysterical! I don't know what we are going to do now that we done having kids. Not that seven's not enough, but they get slightly less funny the older they get. My 15 year old is smelly, but rarely funny.
I love it! Super sweet, especially the last one. I am looking forward to the days when Julie says funny stuff, until then, I'll keep laughing at all the funny things she does. Children bring such joy into a home.
That pic is amazing, so beautiful. It should be on a sisters card!
Unconditional love is the most amazing gift of all :-) Nice top three!
This topic is making me have baby fever more than ever!
Oh man. How not to Meow to this...Must ponder. *opens a can of Diet Coke*
Unconditional love is the most amazing thing EVER! I'm thankful for it from my two daughters daily :)
Cute picture by the way!
Awwww... this is adorable. And also, kids are the funniest little things EVER.
awww! those were great Top 3's!!
you sound like a wonderful mommy...but more!
the list never changes. when i am with my
grown children, i become completely
intoxicated. one always says, "mom's been
drinking again."
yep, from the sweetness of my rich life.
Awww,I love your top 3...thanks for sharing...I will be following you now as I just discovered you!!God Bless and May His face shine upon you today and beyond!
That unconditional love is the best-- I thought I knew what that meant before I had my daughter, but now I know the truth: I really had no idea.

AMEN for unconditional love. The fact that they love us, flaws and all, and still think we are the best things ever, is worth all the frustrating days we live through.
Thanks for playing our meme!
