Sometimes as parents, we under estimate the effect we have on our kids. When they do good, we are proud and express so, and when they do not so good things we tend to kill ourselves or pass it off as they are not listening.

But our kids watch us and listen more than we know. And when you least expect it they prove that.

Though throughout their lives they will experience adversities that you feel may harm them, it often times makes them a better person.

My son is allergic to things found in almost everything we eat. But he eats and takes benadryll and his medications to contain his asthma.

Early this school year, I thought the boy was nuts, but he has grown to be such a little gentleman that even his teacher expressed her joy of having him around. The difference one conference my husband had with his teacher has made is unspeakable.

And I am proud and blessed to have my husband, my mom, my sis, my church and my kids in my life.

Though we are a big family and people say it is impossible, we are happy. We are blessed to have each other. And though I think that there are some things I would change at times, I wouldn't because if those things had not occurred I would not be experiencing the joy my life has become.
