Mommy aka Katie

The definition of mommy is..... an informal term of mother, meaning one who gives birth to a child. But to me being a mommy means so much more than that, it means being your provider and teacher, your caregiver and nurturer , your friend and your protector... to me being a mommy means raising you both in a loving family where you can learn to grow into a beautiful and caring and loving person. A mommy is at times a dr or nurse, a teacher, a bus driver, a baseball player,a chef, an author, and a maid.I think being a mommy is the most rewarding job and at times the hardest job, it's a job not all women can handle... it's long hours, it's unpaid, you have to be patient, you need to be fun and creative too, you have to put yourself last , you need to love and understand children, you have no time off or sick days, you never get a raise or bonus, and many times you don't even get a thank you but it's still the best job.Lucky me for being a mommy to you both, having you is all the reward and thanks I need! With that said, now here's the reason I am explaining to you the very important job a mommy has......

Michael, the other day you realized Aunt Lolo and Gaga ( that's what you call grandma) call me Katie and you thought it was pretty funny and kinda cool. So for a few days now you too have called me Katie! I have corrected you and asked you not too, I have even tried ignoring it all together. But numerous times throughout the day I hear..." Hey Katie read me this book", " Katie can I get a fruit snack", "Good night Katie, I love you"....... and you see my name is mommy to you and I love love love being your mommy and I love hearing you call me mommy. Yes my name is Katie..... but you and Nicky are the lucky ones that get to call me your "Mommy"!!!
