One of my favorite things about being a mom is watching my 4 year old son wake up in the middle of the night.  This may sound a little wierd, but he usually waks up startled...maybe from a bad dream or a noise outside.  His eyes are half closed and he's really half asleep and I can see the fear on his face...and then he sees me and he completely relaxes.  The knowledge that I have that affect on him...that he is calmed by only my presence next to him...that I don't have to say a word to soothe his fears and he is reassured by just seeing my face...the feeling I get from that in my heart is one of the very best things about being a mom.
