The Best Part of My Life
Last night I was sitting in bed studying for an exam and my daughter came running into the room and hid between my bed and her bed (yes her bed is in my room). There is about nine feet between the door and where she hid so there was no way I could miss her. After about a minute she jumps up and yells “Boo!” I feigned surprise and she started giggling and ran out of the room. As soon as she got out of my sight she turned around and ran back in giggling just as loud as she could. She ducked down between the bed again and then stood up quickly and said “gotta do it again” and ran out. Rinse, repeat. So I asked her “Do you want me to see you or not see you?” She said “not see you.” At this point my son came into the room and hopped over onto my side of the bed.
My daughter ran out of the room again and this time toned down the giggling and ran in and hid again. She jumped up, yelled “Boo!” and I feigned surprise and so did my son. His was a lot louder but hey, he’s six - it’s OK. After a few minutes of doing this my son proclaimed, with a grin on his face, “This is the best part of my life!” It was so darned adorable, I joined him with a big grin on my face while my daughter still “snuck” about with her loud laugh.
Moments like that really warm my heart and make me remember how great it is to be a mom.
Happy New Year everyone!
