Things I love about Stephen

I love being a Mom. I really, really do!
But, sometimes I need to remind myself!
You see, my son is 11, a pre-teen, MOUTHY! 

So here are some of the things I particularly LOVE about being a Mom:

1. I love that I can still go into his room while he’s sleeping, sit by his bed, say a prayer and he never knows I’ve been there.
2. I love how we laugh together – we totally “get” each other’s personalities.
3. I love that even when I fuss at him, he knows I love him.
