The things you do

You hear a lot of parents saying this 'Oh the things you do' or 'they do' but either way it is true. It is amazing the things that you will do for your baby or just what you will see them do that is mind blowing.


I am not a stressor, I am a very relaxed person I just take things as they come. But since becoming a mum I wince and cringe at every kid falling over or near miss a kid has. Not only my own but all kids. I really stress when it comes to kids getting injured even just a bump.


I am also not a touch person, I don't mind hugs but unless you are my son or my husband I don't want you giving me a kiss. I don't mind the kind of cheek bump thing that comes with a hug (in lieu of a kiss) I have a cousin in law who does this (you know who you are) and I really appreciate it, it fits in well with my touchy issues. But since becoming a mother I have had more hugs and kisses than ever in my life (mainly from my son) which really just comes with the territory. But there are the other things like since my belly as started to poke out my little man will come and check on it. He comes up to me and lifts my shirt up just to see it, but more then that he will blow raspberries on it. No other living human being would get away with this, I cant even stand people touching my stomach with their hands let alone with their mouth or their face.


I also clean with my mouth, I know this sounds funny but when you have a little boy getting into everything and food everywhere spit becomes a cleaner. I will lick my finger and wipe his face or I will bite the dirty part of his biscuit off. I know to everyone that doesn't have kids this would be disgusting and in all honesty I agree but some things need to get done and kids don't do it your way.


I know there will be so many of these things over my life that I will do and just hope that know one is watching. But I will do it for my babies, for their safely they cleanliness or just out of need, and I am going to give into my little issues to see my boy give me cute little raspberries even if it feels eww.
