What's awesome is just seeing them develop their personalities over the years. They start out as just helpless little blobs. Then, one day, when you're shoveling rocks in the garden, they laugh at you. Before you know it, they're curling up with you on the couch, reading stories. They're leaping off that couch onto your stomach, nearly breaking a rib in the process. They're chasing the puppy dog around the house before planting a big, wet kiss on his lips.
Kids are awesome.
Yup- then they're hitting their brother from across the yard with a baseball bat because they don't like they way they're being pitched to. Let me tell you, the sound of an aluminum bat on the back of a 6-year-old's skull is quite sickening.........But I digress. You've a looooong way to go before you stop being a parent and start being a referee.
Congrats again!
