I was woken up on Sunday by a sweet little voice uttering that cute little phrase. She got out of bed and came to me and said that all by herself, without any coaxing from anyone. I couldn't help but smile and be so thankful that I became Aitana's and Gabriel's mommy. This particular mother's day was even more special since it was my first with Gabriel.
We had such a wonderful day. Aitana and Kinwa got me a delicious breakfast burrito, followed by a walk to the park and some good playtime, lunch at my parents' and dinner out.
But most importantly, I just really loved spending time with each of my kids. Gabriel climbed all over me and showered me with kisses while we waited for Kinwa and Aitana to get back that morning. In the afternoon, I got to hold Aitana and ended up rocking her to sleep and just enjoyed snuggling with her. It made me think though how fast this time is going. I know that day in and day out I take so many little things for granted. I get wrapped up in everything that "should or must be done" that I don't take time to just enjoy anymore. But I came to realize that Aitana and Gabriel are suddenly so grown up. Where did my tiny cuddly babies go? I'm not sure, but after giving them my undivided attention on Sunday, I realized how much I've missed just enjoying my kids and how incredibly fun they are. They are amazing little creatures and I am so proud to be their mom. I am truly blessed.
