When you think you're at your wits end and your child says, "Hug!"
The way that your little girl wants to have her toes painted too.
The first time your child says, "I love you."
A two and a half hour nap in the middle of the day.
How the smile of your newborn makes you laugh (especially when you know it's just gas).
When your children are quiet, happy, and stationary all at the same time.
The way your toddler says, "Kiss." after tripping over her own feet time and time again.
The first time you ask your child to go get something from another room and they actually do it!
Being able to play "horsie" with your toddler.
Dancing to a song during a commercial for not apparent reason except that your daughter did it first.
Watching your toddler play with your IPOD... like REALLY play with it.
When you see your toddler kiss your newborn because they want to, not because you said so.
When your husband walks through the front door and your daughter runs and give him a BIG kiss!
How a swing can make the crankiest baby fall asleep.
Looking at your children and thinking to yourself, "I can't believe that came out of me!"
Realizing that nothing in this world could make you stop loving them... ever.
I never knew I could love in the way I love my children. They are my greatest achievement and some of my greatest joys are derived from their precious lives. They may drive me insane sometimes, but nothing will ever drive me away from them. May I be as much of a blessing to my children as they are to me.
