When I grow up by Emily Dey

"Mommy, when I grow up I want to be a Mommy and take care of my babies cause' that's the best part. Then when my babies are grown up and I'm a grandma I'm going to be an Astronaut...and then a Doctor."

Made me feel a little good as a Mom to know that my daughter thinks tbeing a mommy is the best part of life. Yes, being a mom is crazy hard sometimes, but just maybe I'm doing a good enough job that she'll remember me being the kind of my who loves spending time with her kids instead of the mom who's stressed out about keeping the house cleaned, food made, and errands run. It's so hard to keep the balance sometimes.

Oh, and as for becoming an Astronaut and Doctor? A little smarts and a lot of hard work can go a long way...but for now let's just try and get the alphabet down and get next years Kindergarten under our belts.

Gotta' love the optimism and no-fail attitude of kids.
