The biggest joy so far for me (my son is only 8 months) is when he sees
me he has an unconditional excitment and he raises his arms to me to pick
him up and when I do he just hugs me and looks around to whoever is there
and looks at them as if he is saying, "this is my mommy". The hardest
part of raising a child is leaving him all day since I work full time.
Hearing him cry because he's got an upset stomach or his teeth are
bothering him, but this is not negative it just proves to me that I love
this little boy more than I ever new possible.
