When I wake up and see her face, it pops a smile to my face. When I come home from 12 hours of work and see her standing at the door staring at me, it warms my heart. When she hugs and calls me mama, I know she's my life. It's quite unbelievable what one little person can do to you. Sometimes I still pinch myself when I look at her, "I'm a mom."
Reality is, mommyhood isn't the easiest task but it is also one the greatest teachings in life. My little Ava has totally changed the whole meaning of life to me. She makes me wanna be a kid again and forget all the issues and problems that adulthood brings. I'm so fortunate to have an amazing husband who help me immensely. Without him this wouldn't come true, and my little Ava wouldn't be so awesome.
Parenthood is teamwork and support. It's not only a mom's job. When a child sees how the parents' relationship is that's when you know how they will be. Showing love to one another shouldn't be foreign and only in bed and helping each other by splitting the task shouldn't be a "he does this and she does that", everything is equal. With all that, an amazing kid is gonna become. Ava's already amazing, her heart is sweet and gosh darn it, she knows what she wants. I'm sure there will be days she's gonna be like a Tasmanian devil, but she's surely amazing.
My parents always had their duties around the house. It was a system. Occasionally you would see them flirt with one another, and as a teenager it made me wanna vomit, but now I saw their love. It taught me love. It's all a ripple effect. Love each other and life is just grand.
