Circle Journal - Mother - For Young Scrapping Moms Group

This is part of the group that I am in. The topic of the circle journal is The Joys of Motherhood. I used some new things for me in this journal, like sea glass and the new alphabet stamps for PSX. Journaling on page 1 reads The joys of being a Mother. I have so many things to be joyful about becoming a mother. Both of my boys have been so different already being able to see the differences in them.Page 2Brendan is my little man. From the day he was born, he was my little man. He has made me see what life is all about, as he is my special needs boy. When he was 10 months old, he had surgery to remove a tumor found in his lung. There is no scarier moment then the time that you know that you cannot help your little boy. He came through it just fine. He has been diagnosed with PDD, a type of autism. It has been a difficult journey for all of us, but Brendan has perceveared. He is already doing things now that he shouldn't be doing, like talking and understanding communication. Something that doesn't happen with three months of getting treatment. He is a hero to me and his father. I love every moment I have with him. He is so loving, always kissing and hugging us and his brother. I don't know what I would do without him.Page 3Alex is my baby for right now. It's been so different having another baby in the house again. You can tell the difference between the two, though. Alex in my funny boy. He is always making me laugh. He makes these funny faces and gives such big smiles already. He was so big when he was born that I missed the newborn stage right away. I don't want him to grow up just yet. We can't wait for our first ones to grow, but our second and third, we just want them to stay babies. Alex has taught me not to rush things and to take the moment for what it is…even if you are watching the sunrise for the upteenth time…Page 4What do I love about being a mother? What is there not to love? I love getting up with my kids in the morning…seeing their bright and shiny eyes. I love reading to them, kissing away their boo-boos and nightmares. When Brendan gives me that smile, you know the one that only your child gives you, when he sees YOU first thing in the morning. When Alex opened his eyes for the first time to see me, just the trust in that first glance…you don't get that from anything else, just your children. They are the only ones who can just melt your heart in a minute…I don't know what I would do if I didn't have them in my life…they ARE my life.
