What I want for mothers day

I want to be your Super Mom. 

I want to be the Momma who finds the perfect balance

between being your parent

and being your friend.

I want to be the Momma who says yes

when you ask me to go outside and  do flips,

or to build sand castles with you at the beach,

or get my hair wet at the pool,

or Ooo and Ahhh over your latest magic trick.

I want to be the Momma who throws the ball around in the backyard,

sings into a wooden spoon with the radio blasting,

and uses fun voices when I read your favorite books.

I want to be the Momma whose not afraid to make messes,

get my hands dirty,

or create a bit of chaos

all in the name of having fun with my little guy.

Then when you grow up and tell childhood stories to your own little family,

I hope that you will have fond memories

of my after school chewy chocolate chip cookies & "bear" milk,

my willingness to share my shoe collection,

and the fridge I made sure was always overflowing with your artwork.

to encourage you but not turn into a stage mom.

I know how much the little things make a difference.
