Our kids are really funny--exactly what I wanted. But they are also really sweet. The other night when I was putting Garnet to bed she said that when we died and came back to life she wanted to marry me. I can't think of anything sweeter than a child's love. Garnet also comes and gets into bed with me almost every night and although we have a king sized bed, she snuggles right up to my back. It's very cozy. Many times during the day she will say, "Mommy?" and I'll say, "Yes, Garnet?" and she'll reply, "I love you." Just for no reason. It makes me feel like we are doing something right. Ysa isn't verbally very expressive yet but she certainly enjoys the breastfeeding and clearly has deep love for my breasts. When she wants to nurse she comes up to me, pats me on the chest while simultaneously smacking her lips and nodding her head. Then she plops down on my lap and lays back to wait for the nummy. Before you havve children, no one can possibly make you know how difficult it is to try to raise them into good humans; no one can make you know how absolutely amazing and wonderful it is either.
