My son has taught me that a mother's role might be to nurture but it is important to be nurtured too.

Lately I've been a bit emotional and I'll often say things like "I'm losing it." Or "I feel so angry" as I often do as I always express my emotion openly. Well lately every time I say that lately DS will come running and wrap his arms around me and bury his head into my chest and I melt. And then he'll say "Is that better? Is it going away now." And it works every time. Sometimes I have to fight back the tears. He tells me he has magic cuddles. I know they say a mother's kiss heals all... but so does a child's love...
This brought a tear to my eye! What a truly beautiful little man.

The most important thing my DD has taught me is how jumping around the room can always bring a smile to your face no matter how bad your day is
She treats everyone with so much tenderness and wants to make sure that everyone is always included. It reminds me to take a moment and reflect on how I treat others.
