Top 10 reasons why it's FUN to be Parents!

Hi, this is Mummy of Little Warrior.

Read an interesting article about the fun of being a parent. I picked out 10 reasons I really like.

1) Crying when you see a baby born on TV, understanding how mothers feel everywhere from Beijing to Belfast.

2) Trying to answer those awkward questions: Do fish sleep? Why is the sky blue? How do cows have babies if they can't get married?

3) Hearing your child say 'mum' and wondering who that is, then realising — it's YOU!

4) Feeling a tiny fist curl around your finger when you touch his palm.

5) Breathing in the best smell in the world -- sleepy baby!

6) Knowing the right things to say and the best way to help when your friends have a baby.

7) Discovering that he's inherited your love of music or his dad's interest in racing cars...

8) ...or, even better, discovering he has totally different talents, like dancing or painting — where did that come from?

9) Waking up to a sloppy kiss from your toddler.

10) Relishing the moment when he first says, 'I love you, Mummy'.
