So This is Love

Every now and again William will do something adorable, and Michael and I will look at each other and I can feel the love pouring out of him. Its those moments that I think to myself, 'this is why we have kids!' Its the joy that they bring to you, livening up even the most mundane moments. Its the way they make your little family feel complete. Its the sweetness of seeing your partner's expressions and behavioral traits mirrored in a set of tiny features. Its the feeling of love and protectiveness as you hold their tiny bodies close. There are a hundred ways being a new parent can be challenging and frustrating, but  just as many ways it can be incredibly rewarding. It just depends on how you choose to look at it (and how much sleep you got the night before!).
