What kind of a mother am I?!

Andy just found some video he took on his phone of Charlotte when she was newborn, learning to crawl, and first crawling. They are adorable. I looked at them and smiled and laughed at her totally fat arms! No tears for me. Here's a sample:

2-day old Charlotte



Fat Baby Charlotte



Cute, right? The baffling part is that I have tear up EVERY time I watch that ridiculous Mother's Day Hallmark commercial1. So, what's up with that? Am I jaded with my kids? Am I done with the baby stage? Please say no because I want to adopt!! Probably not a baby, though. Do I need to have another teeth dream to interpret this thing? Is this how it is to be well medicated?

1The one where the girl in college records "Mom, you ROCK" and then the card starts playing "Unbelievable" by EMF, and the granny says, "How sweet!" and the mom, all choked up says, "I know!" I'm embarrassed.

Quite interesting thoughts! Maybe you can't tear up for your own children because they are too close. Too close to you or perhaps too close to your heart. Sometimes, I think, the deepest emotions are the hardest to touch. Happy Mother's Day!
