Mothering is a job too you know?!

I'm convinced that my niece is going to take over the world with her cuteness.


A lot of times I look at my sisters life and wonder. Quite honestly, her daily accomplishments sometimes seem kinda silly compared to what mine sometimes are. Change diapers, feed babies, burp baby, put babies to sleep, fold laundry, change diapers, feed babies, burp baby....on and on and on and on. But now, after experiencing only two hours alone with this sweet handful and her two year old, her list of accomplishments no longer look so silly. While I was holding that screaming baby in my arms (not having a clue how to make it stop) I was amazed at how quickly I respected the life my sister chose to live. The kind that business women in suits look down on. After franticly calling her and rushing her back to the house, it took her two seconds to put a smile on that babies face. These babies are her boss, and she is the most faithful employee. Loving and responding to every demanding need they scream about. I see the sweet face she has when she looks at her babies and it makes me understand just a fraction of what mothering is all about.
