My son's various birthday celebrations are finished for this year. He turned 7 this month and we had traditional cake, cupcake cake and cookie cake. We bowled, had dinner at a Japanese steakhouse, traveled to Waco and sang to him at least three times!
I still don't see my kids as spoiled rotten. My sons know they are loved, they are celebrated for their accomplishments and loved for just BEING. Their birthdays come along once a year... one day out of 365 gets to be THEIR day. It has been so fun to see them grow from babies to toddlers to little boys. It has been my life's greatest honor to be their mother.
Just this past year or so, it clicked that I should embrace all there is to being a mom. The unconditional love, the challenge to be all I need to be all the time, the gift of unlimited hugs and kisses, the power within myself to heal a boo-boo, the priceless calling to pour love, life and grace into the lives of my sons... these pieces make up the beautiful puzzle that is my life. I couldn't ask for a more wonderful opportunity than to be Mother.
