What's YOUR favorite thing about being a mom? Tell us in the comments below!
the hugs and kisses. Plus my Mom tells me that I am the "best mom in town" :)
The best thing about being a mom for me is that when the baby's first word is usally mommy or daddy first tooth and every mom should love there newborn baby
Seeing the very simple things in life through their eyes. A trip to the park is like the most amazing adventure ever! I love their imagination... 
The best thing about being a mom is being their when their reaching their milestones. Its beautiful to hear "mama" for the first time, first tooth, ect. Its an amazing gift to be a Mother:).
THE JOY OUR CHILDREN BRING INTO OUR LIVES IS UNREPLACEABLE ITS A FEELING THAT ONLY A MOTHER GETS WHEN SHE HAS HER WORST OF DAYS AND YOUR CHILD JUST DOES SOMETHING THAT BRINGS A SMILE TO YOUR FACE AND YOUR WORLD IS BRIGHT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE JOY THAT CHILD BRINGS
I would have to say the best thing about being a mom would be the laughter. A childs laughter means the world to me. Especially laughter from my kids. It makes me feel like I'm doing everything right. It makes me feel like, through out the day no matter how much poop, pee, or throw up I have on me, the laughter is what I look forward too.
I don't know. My wife died 8 months ago in a car crash. I think she loved every min. of it. She loved the kids and she would do anything for them.She did die Feb.1 2012. Before that day she would always want to do something for the kids. She always wanted 23 kids! She loved kids.
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love being a parent, watching them goo to there first word, they have there own little personality which i love and am thankful for.. watching them grow into there own little person is just awsome and i feel so blessed be there parent and there friend....
I really can't explain. But raising a child somehow gives me the feeling of gratification, seeing my son happy over little thing, his smiles...it means the world to me.
Just knowing that someone loves you almost as much as you love them. I think that hearing my daughter laugh and say I love you is the sweetest sound in the world.
The MOMent when your so stressed out and ready to loose control, then suddenly your kids run thru the house laughing and stop and look at you and say I love you, mom
Staring into her little eyes and her staring back. A connection like no other in the world. Thanks be to God for loving us, so that we are able to love our children sooo much.
watching my daughter live carefree living life the way I should have.
Love.. From being an hero because you can reach the cherrio's to the surprise hugs because they just love you...
