Best Mum Ever!

Posted on April 24, 2015 1 Comment

As I put Noah to bed tonight he hugged me and whispered in my ear…
“You’re the best Mum ever!”

I don’t often feel like ‘the best mum ever’, but I did then, in that moment, with his cheek smushed up against mine.

What have you done that makes you the best parent ever?

And it made me think about other good things that have happened this week, other moments when I might just have been the best mum ever, or at least a pretty good one…

When I made a heap of homemade stuffing for the roast chicken.
When I let him snuggle in my bed and be silly when he couldn’t fall asleep.
When I read a chapter of the new Mapmaker Chronicles each night.
When I turned up the music super loud in the car.
When I joined them outside for a ride, scoot and skate.
When I made pancakes for afternoon tea.
When I built a cubby house from blankets and chairs.
When I spent ten minutes putting cool songs on his iPod.
When I discovered by accident that the musical Cats was coming back and organised tickets for my girls.
When I remembered to ask the right question at the right moment.
When I found the missing puzzle piece.

When the weeks feel long and difficult it is easy to forget the good moments, the moments when I might just be the best mum ever.

What have you done this week that makes you the best parent ever?

    I love this. What a beautiful list and fantastic exercise. I want to start. We all seem to stuck in our shortcomings that we sometimes miss the most wonderful. Lovely (especially — the scootering — don’t you just love it when you take those moments! :-) )
