My hopes for my children

I am a mom to two wonderful girls. E is 9 and K is 2. I'm married to my high school sweetheart B. If you sum up my parenting style, it would be called attachment parenting. I try to make my girls happy when they are distressed, sad, whiny, etc. I co-sleep with my 2 year old and did with my 9 year old until she was 4. Our lives pretty much revolve around them.
A lot of the times on the weekends we will put in a movie in my room and all snuggle up in my bed and watch. What they don't know is that I love this time too! I hope as they grow up and leave our house, they remember all the snuggle times.
One of my biggest hopes is that they grow up feeling loved and wanted. I want my girls to be very secure in who they are, independent so that they are strong. I want them to believe in themselves and know that their momma always has their back.
E is old enough that she knows she can tell me anything. Even if it's something I don't want to hear. I pray that we are making the right decisions in raising them. I'm not the best Christian but I try to show them the faith by doing. To grow up strong Christian women would be wonderful.
I hope that they always feel important and know I will always have time for them. They are the greatest thing I've done with my life. I love them so much.
