Today is the first Mother’s Day where I’m a mom. It’s kind of strange. Jude (actually Andy) got me a gift card to Ann Taylor so I can buy some new clothes for work. Today we will be spending time with Andy’s family.
Several people have asked me what I like most about being a mom. That’s kind of a hard question to answer, but I’ll take a shot:
- Having such a beautiful little creature to love.
- Being able to watch him grow and change each day.
- Knowing that I know little baby Jude better than anyone. I’m getting pretty good as figuring out what he wants because he has a few distinct cries.
- Being the one that people hand him off to when he starts to fuss.
- Knowing that he is a blank slate and we can teach him and shape who he becomes.
