My paycheck

I haven't yet been back to work since Lily's birth. It has been VERY nice, but of course, if you don't work you don't get a paycheck(and who can't use a little extra money?). I have been thinking this week about homemakers and the value of that role. Many things have come to mind and so I share them on our blog.
My paycheck this week as a mother and homemaker :
-An unlimited supply of hugs and kisses from the kids and my hubby
-Seeing Spencercito giving kisses to Lily, and then secretly trying to feed her his cereal
-Lily smiling right before she goes to sleep, just as I walk by, and during her meals or snacks. She has such a sly grin sometimes, if she wasn't a newborn I'd think she was up to something.
-Having Spencercito continue to ask just once more (all day long) for a fruit snack, in hopes that maybe this time(2 seconds later) I'd say yes.
-His happy face when he actually gets one since he peed in the potty.
-Hearing Spencercito sing the ABC's in ENGLISH (where is he learning this?)
-Hearing Spencercito say "Te amo mami" and blowing me kisses out of the blue
-Sleeping snuggled next to two people that I love, my baby and my hubby
-Cooking whatever I want for dinner, whenever (within reason)
-Time to have a clean house (and it stays that way, until the kids wake up)
-Unlimited naps (okay, only while the kids are napping)
-Having time to go swimming everyday
-Reading stories, playing cars and singing silly songs
-Watching Spencer and Lily learn and grow
-A happy and healthy family
I could go on, each day is filled with precious moments in their constantly changing lives, and I absolutely love being a part of it. In short, my paycheck is priceless!
