We love our kids. It goes without saying it. But how often do you say it?
This topic came up recently with some friends and we got into talking about how adorable it is when our kiddies tell us they love us.
It melts my heart to hear my little ones tell me, randomly and out of the blue, "mommy, I love you". I don't think there is anything that anyone could say that would make my heart smile more than that.
So it got me thinking, how much do I tell my kids I love them? The answer, A LOT!
I catch myself telling them how much they are loved all the time. Not just at night before bed, not just when I am leaving them to go out, but all the time. Maybe too much. But is there really too much when it comes to telling your kids you love them? I don't think so!
The three little words I whisper to my kids when we are snuggling, or that I say through giggles as we play, or that I say just out of the blue as I give them a hug for no reason at all, are just as important to me as they are for them.
I hear my 4 and half year old say it to her baby brother and her older sister. I hear my oldest tell her little siblings. I hear my kids say it to their grandparents and their aunt whenever we see them.
Whether they are aware of it or not, they are warming everyone's hearts with those words.
As long as I am their mom, no matter how old they get, I will always tell them I love them as often as I can and for no reason at all other than simply because I can and because I do.
So to my kiddies, I love you!
