The Joys of Motherhood

When he pulls my hair When he steps on my feet When he throws a fit Oh, the joys of motherhood When he screams for hours When he spits his food at me When he, well you know, in his diaper Oh, the joys of motherhood When he looks up at me with those big green eyes When he smiles real big with his five teeth When he puts his head on my leg to let me know he is tired Oh, the joys of motherhood When he gets excited to see me When he gives me a great big hug When he says mama, or at least tries Oh, the joys of motherhood When I can't wait to pick him up When I think that I wouldn't change a thing When I see his beautiful face I know I am experiencing The joys of motherhood.
