Published May 09, 2008 10:03 am - 1. The first time your eyes meet, seconds after birth. Hers wide, angry, surprised; yours, filled with an awed love you’ve never known.
Guest columnist, Cindy Dagnan: 50 sweetest things about being a mom
1. The first time your eyes meet, seconds after birth. Hers wide, angry, surprised; yours, filled with an awed love you’ve never known.
2. Watching children sleep.
3. Oh, that top of the head, under the neck newborn smell!
4. Toothless grins.
5. Tucking-in time, hearing bedtime prayers and the chatter of the day.
6. Understanding the symbolism of “Good Night Moon.”
7. That first time you hear “Mama!” followed by breathless squeals.
8. Gaining the courage to drink Coca-Cola with toddler floaties in it.
9. Little chubby arms reaching for you.
10. Enthusiastically slobbery open-mouth kisses.
11. Blanket forts.
12. School programs.
13. Chasing a squealing, naked toddler who’s trying to avoid bath time.
14. Dandelions gracing a table vase.
15. Abundant refrigerator art with enough left over for use as wrapping paper and including in care packages for 2 grandparents, 10 nursing home residents and 25 overseas soldiers!
