How I spent a whole hour with Madie tonight—just her and I—playing peek a boo, pattie cake, her belly laugh when I tickled her, reading to her, and watching her trying to stick toys into her belly button (huh?)…
How she wanted to be on my lap or right next to me all night.
How she giggled and splashed in the bath and soaked her mama.
All the words we said together…woof, woof; mama; dada; Jackson (yes it sounds just like Jackson), all gone, thank you, please.
And how I bundled her all up in warm PJ’s while she sang to me I am a child of God (she is great with the melody, the words are yet to come:))
I want to Remember…
How Jackson, our grown-up six year old, still wants his mom to tuck him in every night, sing to him, and read him a scripture story.
How he loves silly bands, had a “Great” Day today, has 13 raffle tickets now in school, and is so good to his sisters (most days).
I want to Remember…
How Reagan must say I love you and Good Night to Matt and I every night at least 7 or 8 times, needs to have plenty of kisses and hugs, always wants me to be where ever she is, loves to lay her head in my lap, and is the best little helper when it comes to almost anything.
There are so many things I want to remember, and most of them I don’t take the time to write down…but tonight I will. Sorry for the sappy entry—next time I will post some pictures!
Love this, Amber! You are such a good mommy and those kids are so lucky to have you. You will be so glad you wrote those things down... those are the important things to remember!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love to hear those things since we don't get to see them very often! This way I know what new things they're up to even though they are growing up without us there!
