Today's Prompt:   How my idea of  "easy" has changed since becoming a mother.

I don't think the word easy, comes to mind when I think of motherhood.

Although, it is EASY to love every hair on their little heads. It is easy to laugh at Ryan, when he doesn't have pants on, but insists on wearing boots and a fireman hat. It is easy to just look at them, in wonder and awe! It is so easy to love the way they smile and giggle. It is very easy to enjoy story time and share in the special moments right before bed time!

I wasn't given a handbook or told the great secret, when the nurse handed me the boys for the first time. Not once was the word easy, uttered by any of the nursing staff, my parents, or girl friends that this would be easy! Motherhood has been a challenge of strength, patience, humility, and sheer exhaustion at times. Yet, on the flip side of the coin, it has been the greatest journey I have ever been on! I love motherhood for all of the challenges. This little family of 4 is not perfect, and at times I have questioned my sanity! But, never in a million years would I ever question how easy it is to love all 3 of my guys!

Things that are EASY:
  • Being the one to kiss away their tears or pain
  • Hugging them every single time they ask for a hug, no matter what I am doing
  • Tucking them in at night, and telling them goodnight and I love you
  • Sharing with them in what ever adventures they are pretending to take part in for the day
  • Singing the same songs over and over, even if they don't know all the words
  • Watching them play together
  • Cheering for them, no matter how small the task
  • Listening to them when they talk to Grandparents over the phone, I never know what will be shared
  • Taking pictures of them to capture memories
  • Going to Hammer Class, as I know how much they love it
  • Going for walks, so simple and yet they really enjoy the time shared together
  • Hearing them laugh, it one of the sweetest sounds I have ever heard
Motherhood is not easy, but loving and sharing in the little moments is beyond easy!
