Playing Mom

I love playing Mommy.

So much.

I don't think I can really describe how much I love being a "mom" to the kids that are in my care. Getting to play with them, Make things with them, Comfort them, tuck them into bed, read stories, and just sit and "be" together.

I babysat some of my kids from childcare the other night and we made Knight's Helmets from newspaper and then took pictures together and then read Dr. Seuss stories.

It has been amazing to get to be with the children here, and it really has strengthened my desire to be a mother. I made spaghetti with one arm for the first time the other day (my other arm was occupied with a baby). And a 2-year-old fell asleep on my shoulder this week...AHHHH!!! I can't even describe how much I want that.
