Motherhood Maps
Written by Michelle
Motherhood is the best thing that has ever happened to me. That being said, it is also the most challenging and difficult job to do ( most times on NO sleep). I am a Mom of two children (a 9 year old and 3 year old) and it definitely is not always easy, but there are the moments that make it so very worth it. I had one of those a few nights ago, and I would like to share it.
My 3 year old and I read one of my all time favorite books tonight “Zen Shorts”. It makes a reference to Japan and she asked me to show her where it was on her map. After we checked out the map, she continued with her bedtime routine. I tucked her in, and said that I would come back to check on her when she was asleep.
I say this to her every night, and every night she says “Why do you check on me?”, to which the reply is :“because I love you”. Tonight this was not good enough. She then said “Why do you check on me because you love me?”
So I thought for a minute and then told her that I check to make sure she is tucked in and is having Happy Dreams. So she said “Where is Happy on the map?”
Ahhhhh. It is things like this that make me want to never forget this time in our lives. The innocence, the imagination, and the literal-ness (it could be a word) of my children. It is beautiful.
May you all find Happy on your map.
