I have to say my number one goal as a parent is to raise happy children. And when I can see that Scott and I are succeeding it gives me the utmost joy and satisfaction. All the difficulties I encounter as a parent seem so worth it when I hear Parker say, "Mommy, I'm happy". She says this often and I ask her why she is happy. She usually thinks of something like, "...because I love my seasquirt", or ..."because you're the best mommy" or "...because I love sitting next to you when I eat lunch". I don't think these reasons are really the cause for her happiness at the moment. But rather she's just expressing a general sense of well being and loving life. This makes me happy.
