10 Insights I Wish My Toddlers Could Grasp

1. Get Pregnant Fast

   Loving you is both effortless and challenging. My affection for you flows freely—I don’t have to exert myself to feel it. Yet, waking up at all hours, chasing you around, safeguarding your little life, and shaping your character? That requires a lot of hard work.

2. I wouldn’t change a thing about you… except for the artwork you leave behind with your poop. Seriously, let’s put an end to that.

3. I wish you could grow up just enough to pour your own cereal and use the potty, but still be young enough to seek out my hugs and kisses. Can we strike that balance?

4. I genuinely strive to be an amazing Mom. I know I falter often, but I appreciate your unconditional love, especially when I find myself napping on the couch. Your adorable face in mine, saying, “Mama, wake up!” is all the motivation I need to get moving and brew some coffee.

5. Your imagination is something I envy. The fan transforms into an airplane propeller, the clouds become jet streams from spaceships, and a simple blanket turns into a train car. Remember to cherish that beautiful, innocent creativity for as long as you can.

6. If you overhear me lamenting about the lack of date nights, longing for a shower, or craving some quiet time, just know that when I do get those moments, I miss you and wonder what you’re up to every second I’m away.

7. Although I’m still learning the ropes of motherhood, I can promise you this: my love for you is unwavering. I will always be your Mom, even when you eventually shift your attention elsewhere. You will always have a place in my heart.

8. Being your Mom can be daunting. I worry constantly about the things that could go wrong. The chance of you getting hurt or sick is terrifying, and I fear I might not always get it right.

9. I would go to the ends of the earth for you… except if it involves letting you paint with your poop. That’s a hard no from me.

10. I’m immensely grateful that I was there when your lives began. You both bring joy into my everyday life, and I feel incredibly blessed to be the one you call “Mama.” My love for you is deeper than you could ever understand—at least until you have your own rambunctious little ones.
