Proud as a mommy could be

Change number five.... this is a beautiful gift that my children give to me. The opportunity to feel so proud each and every day of my life. I get filled daily with such positive energy just sitting back and watching them, the marvels they all are! I could write about all of the things I am proud of for hours and hours but that is not the point here! The big and the small, the concrete and the intangible, I am so very lucky to be part of their lives (gratitude is another gift). I am proud of them for being who they are, for what they can do, and for what they know not to do. No mother can escape from this one, I am sure.
Joshua, I am so proud of you for being such a loving brother to both Aidan and Colin. I am proud of the healthy choices you make in your life, your gentleness and your love for your family. I am proud of your dedication and hardwork at hockey.
Aidan, I am proud of your ability to show love so freely, your outspokenness and your love for animals. I am proud of your hard work at school and for taking on the role of middle child with such ease.
Colin, I am proud of you for sleeping in your bed all night, and for being so determined to do what your brothers can. I am proud of you for learning new things each day and for your responsiveness (usually big smiles) to people.
I am proud to be mother to each of you and know that my heart can just never contain the amount of love I have for you... my cup runneth over!
