Luckiest Mom Ever!

Aaron does something that melts my mother heart. He loves to help Jordan when they are playing together. When they are at the play ground, or any other place and Jordan is trying to climb up high and can't quite make it, he's got a brother who is amazingly unselfish.

Aaron lays on the ground, lets Jordan climb onto his back. Then he slowly does a push-up until he's on all four's and then slowly stands up while Jordan is on his back. That is how Jordan gets to hard to reach places.

Aaron did this at the play ground a few weeks ago to help Jordan slide down a pole "like Fireman Sam". We had a special moment the other day where I was able to finally get a picture of him doing it. When he did this at the park I had the thought come to me: "I'm so lucky to be Aaron's mom!"
That being said, I have most moments of most days where my kids are screaming in an embarassing way, tantrums, frustrations, etc. I'm just grateful for those moments that make being a mother worth it! They don't happen very often or all the time- just enough to make me remember that it's worth it! Being a mother is hard, it's not for sissies! I'm so grateful that there is some divine intervention to help me as a mother (and all mothers), or else I couldn't do it.
Despite the not sleeping and LOTS of screaming tantrums, especially by Flash Jordan, I feel like I'm the luckiest wife and mother ever!

Gotta love those tender mercy moments with the kids. They make putting up with everything else easier. Motherhood is so much better than I expected. I feel bad for all those women who choose to live a life without children.
