kids...kids...kids...

sometimes they can just make your day with the simplest of things, like their laugh.

they can infuriate you when they don't obey.

they can help each other with projects or play together for hours, never arguing, and perfectly content.

they can make you so proud that the emotion brings tears to your eyes.

they can give you a running commentary on every event in real time.

they make you smile at a memory.

they can surprise you when they do something on their own.

they can be instinctive and give you a hug out of the blue, which you later realise is exactly what you needed.

they can remind you of the rules when you have a lapse.

there is nothing like them and our lives are richer with them in it.

you forgot "they remind you CONSTANTLY when you forget to do something!"

that's the one I experience the most ;)

oh yes, that and having them tell each other what they should be doing like they are the parent. that one really cracks me up!
