Parents: What do you love most about your kid(s)?

It is nearly impossible to pick one thing that I love about my kids the most, but at the top of that list is the way they are constantly challenging me. They challenge me to be a better father, a better friend and even a better husband. They have the uncanny ability to never hold back and I love it! I love my children and everything about them! They have made me who I am and force me to evolve into something better each and every day!

I love everything about my kids . But, what I love most is that my youngest son is serving his country.

The fact that they love me no matter what. "Mom made Chicken Nuggets! She's the greatest." My kids are amazing.

I have a three year old and one on the way, but the thing I love most about my son, besides him willing to imitate my perfections :), is the unwavering love he shows his mother and myself no matter what happens, he could be in trouble one minute and crying and the next minute he is laughing and hugging everyone all he wants.

He also has this one little quark you could say, that whenever someone takes pictures he decides that at that time is the perfect time to be a perfect little angel and pose for his "photo shoot", then he will tackle you to see the picture you just took of him. :) Some of the funniest moments so far from this little kid. :)

I love their resilience and honesty. Let us not forget how much fun they are to challenge in family games. Our 3 girls are such a blessing.

He is extremely affectionate with us. He is autistic and it is a very tough for most parents of a child with autism because they often do not want to be touched.

My son is just 2.
But he knows his alphabet, forwards and backwards, and sign language. Can count up to 30, can add and subtract up to 9 and do it in Spanish. He can put together a puzzle of the United States, and pick out States by name. He can read simple books already. I love that he loves learning!
He also loves spending time with his family. He goes to our cats and pets them, goes to the dogs and plays with them, goes to the rabbits and GENTLY pets them, calling each by name. He wants to pet the fish, but can’t so he grabs the beanie-baby fish next to the fish bowl, hugs and squeezes it, and calls it by the fish’s name while watching the real fish.
I’m a believer in physical discipline, but I’ve only had do anything twice to him-he HATES doing anything wrong or displeasing. He loves to hug and play and spend time with his mom and I, and our family. Just two days ago when my dad came to our campsite, he ran up, hugged his G-Pa, grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the lake shore to show him the new boat.
Love that he does his prayers every night, and reads his Bible with us...even to us! Love this little guy!

CPT I care deeply and love my three children with all my heart. The best thing they did was give me eight grandchildren that are just wonderful. I have more time now to take up with them than I did with my children. I had a man tell me once that he had known Grandchildren was so muck fun that he would have had them first.I was able to do more with them and take a few days and travel with them, fun times.

Granted he is only 8 months old, but our son loves putting a soft little hand on each of our faces when we wake up. He will watch me, and then my wife...back and forth, back and forth. Then, the most wonderful and simple smile creeps across his face. It is the most amazing feeling.

Despite having me as her Dad, my daughter has good values, a good work ethic, and is a great Mom. My son, unfortunately died at 12, but I never knew a child who was more kind to others, even when they didn't deserve his kindness.
