I like to just watch them.

OK. So, I am going to admit something that I have always felt made me a "bad mom". But, I have come to the realization that all moms have "good" moments and all moms have "bad" moments. Not only that, but all moms are different. God designed us to be who we are, and to interact with our children in our own unique way. So, here goes. I enjoy just watching my kids. Often times, I'd rather watch them play, then play with them. It's hard to explain, but, for me, I feel totally fulfilled as a mom when I can sit back and take it all in. I love watching their facial expressions when they are concentrating, listening to their vocies when they're talking, hearing their giggles while they laugh, and watching their whole being as they tackle some sort of physical challenge like tree climbing, or a new sport. It's during those moments, when I can just watch them, that I know I am savoring each second and not letting life with them pass me by.
