Mama Home

This is my favorite part of the day...

 

The minute I get in the door and up past the baby gate, little two year old arms wrap themselves tightly around my leg as Cubbie yells, “Mama Home!”

I lift him up, snuggle his little cheek, and kiss his fine brown hair. All my work worries just melt away as I transform from employee to Mommy.

Love radiates from my heart and my soul into my little one’s spirit, letting him know, although I’m away 40 hours a week, you (and your brother and Daddy) are the most important thing in the world to me.

(I must say, it’s hard to snap a one-handed picture of a child attached to your leg without being knocked over!)

Hey, it's you!!! I'm so happy that you're back... although took me a bit to figure it out. I have been wondering about you. You've been missed!

I used to love that part of the day as well. Of course, now Daddy is attacked at the door and he loves it as well. Makes that long day so worth it!

The title of this post made me smile as that's what we say at my house when I come home--or "Daddy Home!" if it's my husband. It's always nice to get that bit of lovin right when you walk in the door, isn't it?

To be a mother is the greatest joy. Time passes so quickly and all too soon, they are grown and gone. My baby is almost 31yrs, I still recall those cubby arms around mu neck. Bless you.

So sweet and precious! I love it when Brad is so happy when I get home, too. I don't work anymore but when I was and would pick him up at my moms it was so sweet to see his face light up and run to me. :)

Angie said...
