A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

Phases

As much as my family loves me the way I am, I sometimes go overboard with the goofiness, and I get a "No, Mom!" This usually happens in the morning if I burst into joyful song or dance like someone who's actually awake. As often as I could make my son laugh when he was little, I can now annoy him. I try to respect that he has moods and instead of forcing him to laugh, I let it go and know that another day, on another morning, he WILL laugh and maybe, just maybe, even dance with me.
