Well said, Stacey! Motherhood certainly gives purpose to one’s life. I really like that you wrote “loving purpose” and the comparison you made to becoming a butterfly.

Now, here is my response: Most of the best things about being a mom are selfish–the unconditional love from your child, having someone you can dress in anything you want, knowing that he/she is a part of you, and so on. I like who I am because of Henry, and I like who I am when I am with Henry (but that’s selfish too). I asked James what the best part of fatherhood is, and he said, “The best part of being a dad is the smile I get each morning when Henry sees me.” I get that too (and it is nice), but that isn’t it for me. I honestly can’t put in to words what the best part of being a mom is, so I’ll just say, look at him–what’s not great about being a mom?

I’m going to keep thinking about it, and if I do happen to find a way to put my answer in to words, I’ll post it. In the mean time, I hope lots of other people respond so I can build on their responses.

Hi Kim! I love your blog….
I think the best thing about being a mom is the sense of loving purpose that accompanies motherhood. The transformation from a woman to a mother feels like as big a change as a catipillar to butterfly!
That probably sounds silly….and my baby is almost 12 now, and needs me less with each passing day. I still remember that tiny baby looking at me, and realizing that I was responsible for her well being…overwhelming! Wonderfully overwhelming I mean.

Trying to keep up with all 8 of them, then when they come up to me and say out of the blue I love you mommy.

Hey! I just saw your blogs for this week and saw Ashley’s Bible. That’s really cool! I hope she likes hers like Emily seems to like hers so far!
