Thursday Thirteen - Things I LOVE about my kids
1. They make me laugh. A LOT. Kaitybean has even begun to develop some wit. Not just random funniness, but a real sense of humor.
3. They love me. A LOT. I am absolutely smothered with hugs and kisses and cuddles every single day.
4. They are friendly and fun. Kaitybean and Mashuga are especially willing to talk to ANYONE. Scud is a little more shy, but he always seems to make friends wherever we go.
5. They are busy. All. the. time. There are days that it exhausts me, but I just love to watch them go.
6. They are incredibly curious and love to learn. We've learned so much about so many things -- ancient Egypt, sharks, dinosaurs, planets, the human body -- simply because they were curious about something.
7. They are so patient with their parents. We do our best, but trust me, living with JDub and I takes serious patience sometimes.
8. They are compassionate and accepting of others. They're just so good to people.
9. They are incredibly spirited. They are intense, perceptive, sensitive, persistent. They have their own ideas about things and their own agendas. Now don't get me wrong, this is definitely a double-edged sword. I could easily put this on a a list of things that drive me nuts. But, I am in constant awe of these amazing miniature adults in my home. It makes life very rich.
10. They seem to have an innate sense of what is right and incredible testimonies of their Savior. They are faithful and prayerful. Many might think that this is a product of their upbringing and sure, we've tried. But we haven't done anything exceptional. They teach us much more than we teach them.
11. They teach me daily about joy. Life is so joyful for children and it rubs off when you're around them all day.
12. They're just cute. I love those little faces.
13. They make me a better person.

Exactly! And 13 reasons that I think are left off the list when a decision to put them in day care is made. It's just plain old fun to be around them (most of the time).
I wouldn't be without mine. My 3 were almost as excited about my birthday today as I was :o)
My TT is up
It's amazing how much our kids teach us, right? ;)
Awww...I'm in purple puddles now. How sweet. I hope you always feel that way about them.
You can really feel the love you have for your children in this list.
"6. They are incredibly curious and love to learn." I don't have kids, but this is the one thing I am always amazed by when I am around children. I often wonder why some people lose this when they become adults.
I love children and i cant wait to have them, yes they're cute and adorable and funny and they bring out the best and the worst from you, they're just so energetic!!
A very awesome list and it shows how you love them. I do want those cuddles and kisses from kids...someday!
