My children’s’ father and I were able to present our sons with a gift this past Saturday. It was nothing extravagant, but it was spectacular. The cost was minimal and required a few hours of my time. However, it was priceless. This was the first time I’ve ever seen my boys so happy. As a result I was happy. Overjoyed actually, my heart was filled. It reminded me that self-centered mommying at it’s core is really about the children, as self-centered mommies are usually the most joyful when their babies are genuinely happy.
