I love it when Mercedes snuggles, she is such a snuggly baby. And when Sienna blows raspberries, she's my wee pixie. And when I get Maya up to take her to the toilet before I go to bed and she's half asleep and I tuck her back into bed and she's all sleepy and says "love you Mama" ]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 22:16:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7367&PID=142901&title=what-makes-it-all-worth-it-for-you#142901 <![CDATA[What makes it all worth it for you? : EVERYTHING!!!!!

EVERYTHING!!!!! Even tho some days (and nights I might add) can be very testing to say the least But just one little smile, giggle, or certain look on our kids face makes it all worthwhile. I also love the "I LOVE YOU MUMMY" with the big WET kisses]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 21:31:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7367&PID=142866&title=what-makes-it-all-worth-it-for-you#142866 <![CDATA[What makes it all worth it for you? : For me it is the hugs and the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7367&PID=142552&title=what-makes-it-all-worth-it-for-you#142552 Author: SMoody

For me it is the hugs and the cuddles. But also when she is really cheeky and comes to come give you a big hug or kiss and then turns around and gives it to the other parent.

I just love to see my child smile. It is different with adults. They smile but their smile doesnt reach their eyes. With kids, their whole little body starts shining.

Favourite moment is when McKayla goes to sleep on me and she just hugs me or when she wakes up and she runs through the house and finds me and gives me a wet sloppy kiss or climbs up and goes straight to sleep again.

When Gia blows kisses to me, or just comes up & kisses me all over, out of the blue! Or she comes & sits by me & rest her arm around my neck. Oh she's just the sweetest thing I can never get angry with her.

When Rico tells me he loves me & comes to sit by me when I'm resting. When he tells me "its delicious" when I've made him something to eat. And when I see how well behaved he CAN be, I know I'm doing a good job!

They way she sleeps... the way she smiles with that cheeky smile of hers!!... The was she hugs me really tight when she is upset...the way she kisses me when you least expect it!...the way she smiles ear to ear and runs towards me when I come home from work (usually in a crappy mood) and seeing her makes it all happy and bright!...they way she insists that I lay down on the floor and she pretends to massage my back with deep heat.....

Thank you Emma!!! I so need this right now. jake has developed the need to make Mum into a 5 syallble word and I haven't sleep properly in 4 days because Taine has an ear infection and is up all night!!!

it's worth it when jake says funny things - like walking out in my stillettos and my handbag saying "let;s go to the warehouse"
When he hugs Taine and pats him on the back (sometimes less pat and more smack) and says "Taine awight?", then as taine continues screaming, Jake looks at me and says "taine's happy mummy!"

For Taine, it's worth it when he grins cheekily and continues doing whats he's not supposed to, and I have to turn around so he does't see me laugh. and when he dances to his music....and when he takes a sip of water and says "ahhhh" - like it must have been so refresshing. ]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 08:44:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7367&PID=142283&title=what-makes-it-all-worth-it-for-you#142283 <![CDATA[What makes it all worth it for you? : The smiles!!!

Same here! When she can't crawl fast enough to get to me when I pick her up from Mum's after work

My girls are hard, hard work - Maya is absolutely Feral Four (as in ran around the supermarket yelling 'bumhead, bumhead' coz my childless brother thought it was funny to teach her that)and the gremlins are just time consuming, but tonight I took them to the supermarket to do the groceries and I swear I had 12 people stop and tell me how beautiful my children are (mostly the gremlins, I pretended I didn't know lil miss 'bumhead' )

And it made me feel really good, like yeah it's hard work but it is absolutely worth it.
