I saw this post over on the lovely Alex's wonderful blog Bump to Baby and I took inspiration from her post to write my own. I am sharing what sort of Mumma (this is what my son calls me) I am so that I can look back in the years to come, when I need reminding through the tough times, about how I tried my best to be the best Mumma I could be to my boy.
I am the Mumma who spends all her money buying her son clothes, toys and whatever else he may need. I would rather go without to see him happy and everything he may possibly want or need.
I am the Mumma who feels bad that she doesn't know many other mothers with little ones my boys age and that he doesn't get to play with other little ones as much as I know he'd like to.
I am the Mumma who is constantly worrying about her son, nothing makes me more anxious then the thought of anything bad ever happening to him.
I am the Mumma who misses her son the minute he's gone to bed. I go up to check on him multiple times once he's gone to sleep just to look at him and stroke his beautiful hair.
I am the Mumma who tells her son she loves him countless times throughout the day. I would never want him to feel awkward by the words 'I love you' and I would never want to him to not feel that he couldn't say these words back to me.
I am the Mumma is who is too lenient with her son. I know he needs discipline but sometimes it can be hard. I am against slapping and hitting of any kind towards him and I always feel sorry for him if I put him in a time out - I'm under his thumb!
I am the Mumma who tries to make any holiday or occasion as special as it can be for my boy. I feel every holiday needs some sort of recognition and we celebrate them all in our house.
I am the Mumma who doesn't want to cut her sons hair, ever. I've thought about it a few times due to it getting knotty and sometimes being a struggle to wash because of his squirming but I can't bare to cut those beautiful, golden curls.
I am the Mumma who never stops taking pictures of her son.
I am the Mumma who suffered from post natal depression and cried endlessly once my partner left for work. Thankfully I got through it and I'm so grateful that I did.
I am the Mumma who truly believes that her son picked her to be his mother. I cannot tell you all that my boy has taught me since his birth. He is my blessing, my little love and my angel.
I am the Mumma who has countless nicknames for her son. It began with Tyler Lee Lee Lally Lou Lou - not even joking, now he gets called pup, puppy, scallywageen, Lee, babóg, lovey dove, angel man, little loveen and baby angel regularly throughout the day.
I am the Mumma who will do anything she possibly can to protect her son.
I am the Mumma who will do anything to make her son happy, even if it means going out of my own comfort zone - I am so socially awkward and he's a social butterfly!
I am the Mumma who hates the competition between other mothers and really doesn't want to get involved. We all love our children so what is the problem?
I am the Mumma who always knew her first born would be a boy with deep blue eyes and blonde curly hair. I dreamt about him years before he was born.
I am the Mumma who always wanted to be a Mumma and am so incredibly grateful that my wish came true.
Feel free to join in and share what kind of mother you are too.
So cute!! The entire scenery was gorgeous too! I will do anything to protect my babies too

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Angelic.
DeleteThis was so sweet to read. I am with you on everything, too. My boys are a little older now (7&10) and that constant worry never stops :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin, how great (or not so great?!) to know that worry never stops!
DeleteAww reading this post warmed my heart you are such a good mumma who is doing an incredible job and can be seen easily. Tyler Lee is very blessed to have you as his mumma.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words Myrabev, you're so lovely.
Deleteawww thanks but honestly you're doing an amazing job, I see in your posts how much attention you pay when talking about Tyler lee even when taking his pictures. Now we need to talk about his beautiful curls having a cut (cringe) just do the top top that are getting too curly and leave the rest that's what my brother and SIL do for my nephew because they too dont want to cut his curls lol.
DeleteYou sound like a great mother! Those curls are just too cute -- he's adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny!
DeleteYour mommy love is dear to see! I had to giggle at your nicknames because I've always been a nicknamer too and my kids laugh at them all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz! Haha yes, I'm all for the nicknames, he'll be so mad when he's older and I don't stop! :)
DeleteAww this is lovely. :) I don't know anyone else with children Ethans age either. Well, apart from people at playgroup and swimming. x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the inspiration Alex! It's so hard not knowing many people with children your child's age isn't it? x
DeleteOmg what a fabulously touching post!!!! Your little is adorable ❤❤
ReplyDeleteLove all the beautiful pictures! It's so nice that you enjoy taking pictures, I always forget to capture those special moments.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to everything you said above. I think I was born to be a mom to my little princess.
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful! I love it. I am the Momma who never thought she wanted to be one, until it happened.
ReplyDeleteAww your boy is very lucky to have a mother like you. My mom won't spend for our clothes, toys and other things we want. She uses money on food, toiletries, and mostly just necessities at home. So I promised myself that when I start earning my own money, I will buy myself things that I wanted but weren't given to us.
ReplyDeleteHow cute, pretty soon I'll have all of these memories with my baby. Lovely pictures, you can truly see the love and bond between you.
ReplyDeleteI want to be a mumma who is as great as you someday. You're baby is so lucky to have you. I'm sure he will grow up to be a great person all because of you. You should be a proud mumma =)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dedicated post to yourself being a Mumma. I think it is so cute you call yourself mumma instead of momma. I am not a "mumma" yet but one day I hope to speak as passionately about being a mother like you are!
ReplyDeleteThat almost made me cry! You were obviously destined for each other, he's a very special boy xx
ReplyDeleteYou're so loving mom, Your baby look a like my one year old son haha. All babies are blessings and he mades me happy.
ReplyDeleteAwww this is so sweet! As moms we make so many sacrifices for our babies but it's so rewarding to see them happy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! I think I might write something up for my kids & save it until they graduate or get married.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post idea! I love it! You are a wonderful mumma to your cutie son!!
