I still want a bedtime story or song.

I may call you different names, but I will always need my mommy.
“Mommy, can I tell you something?”
This statement always brings a smile on my face. All three of my children will occasionally say this phrase. This phrase means that they are about to tell me one of two things. One, they are about to tell me something that they did wrong and ask for forgiveness. Two, they will say something that reminds me that I am a fantastic mom for my KIDS. Now for your kids, I would be only an adequate caregiver. You are their mommy. You are doing a stellar job even if you question yourself daily. The point is that you CARE about how good of a mom you are being, and that care is what makes you one fantastic mom.
