In an unrelated note, look at my 2 year old pretending to be a teenager. I took the picture and then realized that it may not be that far off before she’s embarrassed to kiss me in front of her friends and we aren’t bestest buddies anymore. Right now she needs me to keep her heart from hurting when she feels sad and I need her for – well, the same. We have never spent more than a few hours apart and when I see something cool I yell, “Hey Ella, come here and see this!” When she sees something cool she says “Mom, what is that?” Ella and I are symbiotic. This too shall pass and I wonder if it will actually break my heart as much as it does to imagine that I won’t always get to be her best friend.

You do always get to be her Mommy, which I believe is much better than being her best friend. Best friends come and go, but Mommy is forever.
Abigail's almost 11 and she still kisses me goodbye and says "I love you", even in front of her friends. That doesn't necessarily go away too quickly (although I'm sure my time is coming).
We're pretty lucky when you think about it!
We are
My mom's still my bestest friend. You guys have seen it. We're on the phone constantly going "Hey, look at that!" And I can honestly say there has never been a moment in my life when I've been embarrassed by her.
Than you are more than pretty lucky - you are uber lucky!
Now that I think of it, I was never embarassed by my mom either.
I have never been embarrased of my Mother, but she's never tried to be my best friend, what she is to me is different, bigger and better than a friend.
