A good mom...

My two babies....look at them. The most perfect, precious, innocent sweeties I know. This picture was taken the day after Kale was born. I would lay my life down for these two if it meant saving them. I would gladly take away any pain these two will ever go through...I know pain and life lessons only make a person stronger, but as their mother, I can't stand seeing my babies in pain or upset. I've been following the blog of a mom who lost her baby at 4 months old to SIDS. She is so strong in dealing with this tragedy. I'm not sure I could ever get out of bed again because my life would be over. I also have a friend who lost her son to cancer after watching him battle it most of his short life. Another brave mom that I look up to.
I'm sure most of you have seen my recent statuses on facebook about moms not spending time with their children. This frustrates me because the other moms I mentioned would do ANYTHING to have one more day with their babies. I've been told I was a little harsh in my comments. I disagree...I was truthful. These so called moms need to focus more on their children then what party they're going to next or who they will sleep with next. I completely agree that moms need a break for some alone time...personally, I love to sit in a steaming hot bath and read a book. This is usually interrupted by Addison wanting to come in and wash my back for me :) But there comes a point when a moms "me" time exceeds the amount of time she spends with her child/ren. I don't call that a mom. But this is just my opinion.

Anyway, an update on my family. Kale has started more solids and is doing great. He pretty much likes everything I've given him, especially pumpkin. I try to only give him organics. He had a really bad rash this week from me switching fabric softeners. Luckily, I don't think it bothered him too much. It just looked awful though. And my Addison....my sweet Addison! She says the funniest things! She came in from playing outside the other night and said, "Mom, I'm so flushed!" She just cracks me up!!!

I finished reading a book last week called Heaven Is For Real. I highly recommend it!!! The faith of a child is so pure. We can really learn so much from a child!
