Proud

The boys and I were driving in the car together and I was telling them all the things I am thankful for and the things I am proud of them for being able to do.  Adler very sweetly said, "mommy, you shouldn't just be proud of us, you should be proud of yourself!".  I asked what I should be proud of and he said, "you are a fun mommy and you always cook for us and shop for us and you play fun games with us."  They say being a mom is a thankless job, but I would disagree.
