It is so very easy for me to get caught up in the fact that the house is a mess, Eli is screaming, the dog is tearing up the tissue box, and Emma is running around like a banshee. I forget way too often that she is precious. Ever changing, always growing, and swiftly changing from my little pink bundle I brought home to an independent little girl. I am learning to stop and cherish the fact that although it is only 11 am and I am already feeling claustrophobic and not wanting to be touched, she is even now wrapping her scrawny arms around me. Does she know that I just want to sit and drink coffee and be left alone for 15 minutes? No. Is it her fault she does not know this? No. She is 2, and she is my baby. Let me endeavor today to put myself out of the picture and realize that she loves me and I love her, and time is passing all too quickly.
I love ~
1. your sleepy face poking over the crib in the mornings
2. the way you play with your hair, and then mine when you are tired
3. how you randomly lick me, so weird!
4. that you tell me looooonnnng stories in korean, or russian, or german....whatever language you have decided upon for the day.
5. your enthusiasm for life. Forgive me for forgetting that so many things are still new to you.
6.the fact that phineas and ferb is the only acceptable form of entertainment at the moment, at least it makes me laugh too.
7. How you dance as soon as you hear music. Commercial jingle, hannah montana, creed, or mommy humming...you get your booty shake on :)
8. That you still want to be treated like a tiny baby
9.but have a need to be a big girl at the same time
10.when you toot, you turn around and around and around trying to see your bum and saying "toot toot mommy toot toot!"
11. you would do anything at anytime for your baby brother but can't be bothered to worry about any other little kids
12.that you have to introduce us to everyone 50 times " ah mommy, ah daddy, ah baby, ah puppy, ah mommy, ah daddy, ah puppy, ah baby......"
13. you! completely,totally, in all you weirdness, forever and ever.

Sounds like the bond between you too is so close. They do grow up so fast and before you now it they are teenagers. I look back on the years and wonder where they went. Thank God for tons of pictures-lot of good memories when I look at them. Enjoy the summer !!!
