I love these kids.

I love that Hayes asked to cuddle with me tonight.

I love that Kamri wanted to have her friend play at our house because she "wanted to play with my friend but be with my mom, too"

I love that Lyla comes up and grabs my leg every once in awhile with a smile, just to make sure I'm there.

I love watching my kids grow more independent, but it's also nice to know I'm there taking care of them for a reason. Sometimes they just need their mom.

(now just remind me of this as Lyla is screaming when I leave her with a babysitter tomorrow)
