What do you love about your dc?

[Singingmom]

I grumble about them, stress over them, and obsess about their problems, and I sometimes forget to focus on the good. So here's my short list of things I love about my dc...

I love the way he's gentle and responsible with his little sister.
I love the way he smiles when he talks.
I love that he loves to read, learn, and draw (really well!) about the things he's interested in.
I love how he's fair and expects others to be fair, too.

:heart Ds7
I love that he makes us laugh.
I love the way he entertains his little sister.
I love that he has fun, whatever he's doing.
I love the way he sings (really well!) and makes up songs.

I love that she wants every member of the family to kiss her boo-boos.

She makes us laugh SO much everyday!
I love that she is so much like daddy and they just adore eachother.
I love coming in to her when she wakes up and her face lights up in amazement that her quiet stirrings told me she was awake, she gives me this "How did you know I was awake, mommy" kinda look lol. :giggle
I love how easy she too has been. So easy to GBD and AP from the start.

I love my girls so much it scares me.

If I knew I could have kids like them I'd have 20 more!

Well, I only have one DC at this point, and he's very young still, but I love how his face splits with a grin when he sees me and how he coos at me in the morning before we get up. Oh, and last Friday, he was nursing, pulled off and LAUGHED at me! (Cheeky, but cute!). :heart

Bashar: 17 months on Thanksgiving

how he grins at me when he's doing something he's not supposed to do and he makes me laugh

how he is so sweet to his baby brother

his cute buttless little body, he reminds me of a sculpture

his hair when he wakes up-it's like it will fly away

okay, it's a bit messy and he's not really supposed to do it, but I still love how he peels onions for me and brings me the potatoes and leaves them all over the house (don't tell him that though!!!)

Danny 5 months two days after Thanksgiving

he's so soothing and cuddly
his eyes, not sure but they look like they might be a dark blue like mine
how he is snoring on my lap right now
his soft little legs and adorable tushie

I love how they are both such extroverts, because I am an extreme introvert. I have learned sooooo much from them! I've really opened up to people a lot more because I've seen how it affects people when my kids open up to them.

Case in point: Last Christmas Zach (then 6) and I went to Chicago with my parents to see my brother in A Christmas Carol. We were walking pretty quickly to get to the play and came up behind an elderly woman shuffling along. I blew right past her, but Zach kind of half turned and said, "Hi, Merry Christmas!" She called out, "Young man, come here," and she said, "That was just so nice of you," and gave him a dollar! It really made her day just to have someone *notice* her. (Zach used the dollar to buy a cookie at the theater. :giggle)

My kids have run up to elderly people in the mall and given them hugs. I've seen people with tears in their eyes because of it. Of course, I've gently and gradually taught my kids that it's not really appropriate to do that, but it really taught me a lesson about how much it means to people just to be noticed.

And Zach has such a kind heart. The other morning we had snow, and he got up, looked out the window, and said, "I think I'll go shovel Mrs. R's driveway." Mrs. R lives across the street and just had back surgery recently. Her husband passed away last year. I was so proud of him, because he didn't need any prompting, just saw a need and went right to work filling it.
