I know what it is to sit by a bedside while your boy is getting stitches removed.
I know what it is to open the door and find a mud monster wearing your sons clothes.
I have seen the before and after of surgery.
I've witnessed multi-day lego town construction.
I've marveled at their conviction of absolute invincibility.
I've grinned to hear "You look SO pretty mama!"
And cried when they give you a tight hug at the end of a VERY exasperating day.
I am a MOB member.
I've wondered at the men they will become, sighed at the mess they make, rolled an eye at the DELIGHT they take in who-can-fart-the-loudest contests (seriously guys? WHY is this funny? and WHY is it a life goal to have the STINKIEST one??) oohhed and ahhhed over the newest war wound ~~and LOVED them with a full heart, knowing they'll leave one day to conquer the dragon and find their princess.
But for now, I am the princess. :)
Be royal~ Genn


amen!
