a great SAHM moment!

For all those times I've thought about going back to work, because dealing with 2 kids all day was too much work...

Yesterday morning, my 3 mth old son laughed for the 1st time, while watching his big sister! She was running around the table, and everytime she'd run by us, he'd just start cracking up! It was so cute, and we were laughing at him, laughing at her! I realized at that moment, that if they were in a daycare center, they wouldn't even see each other all day, and we both would have probably missed his 1st laugh :)

Times like that make it worth it!!!

I agree 100%. My daughter is 8 months old and I saw her laugh, roll, crawl, etc.. for the first time. I also get to see her smile when I go into her room to get her from a nap. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything. Sure there are some trying moments as well, but the good defenitly outway the bad!

My mother was a SAHM and she reminds me of that all the time. It helps get me through some of the tougher days,

I agree. There are so many precious moments that we get to experience every day by staying home. By focusing on them and not other selfish things like "I'm bored", it makes the whole SAHM thing the greatest job ever. IMO

Times like that sure do make it worth being home with them.

I would hate to miss anything with my 2 boys and let some other person experience it with them instead of me.
