Having children, in lists.

Having children means:

never having a moment alone.
Waking up at all hours.
Being covered in bodily fluid, none of which are yours.
breaking down.
Tears. For all parties.
Losing out.
Walking out of a restaurant with a screamer under your arm.
Feeling alone.
Giving up.
Little hands, grabbing.
Little Teeth, gnawing.
Child centered everything.
Fevers, rashes, snot.
Doing it wrong.
Being pulled in every direction.
Always being needed.

Having Children means:

endless laughter.
the brightest smiles.
Wonder, through a child's eyes.
Magic exists.
Kisses and Hugs.
All the I Love You's.
Hiding in the shower for an extra two minutes.
tickles.
Did I mention the laughter!
remembering how to splash in the rain.
Learning to silently scoop ice cream.
invented games
The greatest Imagination!
secrets and stories.
Family visits.
Reasons to GO!
Always being needed.

My children are a constant test, to not give up and give in. But to go on and LIVE. With out them, I would not have seen the most amazing sights I've ever seen.
Happy Smiley Boys.
