Four Little Words.

When feeling down, I remember these FOUR little words and cant help but smile.

Kids grow up so fast these days. I can't believe Kara is four and Kevin is 2 I feel as if I missed out on something but when I look back I realize that life is just beginning with them. I was always so worried of how 'good' of a mother I would be and sometimes I still worry- Kids arent perfect but we see past those imperfections.Kara is in Pre-K and learning so much, and she teaches her brother so much, he knows how to count to 10 in English, Spanish and Chinese (thanks Noggin!!) and hes not so shy any more Im so proud of them.
Whenever Kevin sees me upset he will hug me and say 'Are you okay mommy?' its so cute the way he says it and he keeps saying it until I smile at him.
Kara helps me so much she loves her brother and they get along so great I am extremely lucky to have them both in my life.
Kara is in Pre-K and they do many fundraisers and bake sales and they've always got something going on there and I always go and Im known as the classroom mom. One day they had a little celebration for the end of the first term and as always I was there, I help set up the snack table and then I sat and waited for the celebration to begin. The teachers gave out awards and such to the kids who've excelled in their learning and such and Kara got one which of course made me so proud. It was all over and people were lingering around talking to each other as I was trying to keep Kevin from jumping off of something and Kara was playing with her friends so I decided to go home and then I went up to Kara, hugged and kissed her and told her that I'd see her at home. I heard a whisper from another girl and a giggle from the third and then I heard Kara say "Yeah, thats MY mom" and when I turned around to wave to her she blew me kisses and said "I love you!'

I expect parents to be proud of their children but from those four little words I can tell Im doing a good job in raising my kids and that my kids are proud of me.
