I want to remember that this week you have started to love on your baby dolls. Suddenly you need them to go everywhere with you. You like them to go in the car with us, you need them to go in your crib with you for naps and nighttime. You push them around in your doll stroller and hug and kiss them. Sometimes you throw them on the floor on their heads - but mostly you just love them.
I want to remember how when you fall, or need comforting, it is almost always me you want. No matter who is around, if I am there you want to come to me for a cuddle snuggle to make it all better. Sometimes when I am busy I forget and wish you would just go to your daddy, but then once you snuggle in, and lay your head on my shoulder I remember, that these are the sweet spot moments that I live for... and for as long as you need me to comfort you, to fix your owies - I will be there.
I want to remember how sweet your little voice is now that you are talking more. You repeat many words these days and I just love hearing you explore words and sounds - singing and yelling and talking. It is so cool.
I want to remember how it feels to sing you to sleep at night. Lately you have been having a little bit of separation anxiety, and dont like to be just put to bed so I have been singing to you at night. And no matter how upset you are you always settle when I start singing...
This little light of mine, Im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, Im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, Im gonna let it shine
Let is shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Everywhere I go, Im gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, Im gonna let it shine
|Everywhere I go, Im gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Jesus gave it to me, Im gonna let it shine
Jesus gave it to me, Im gonna let it shine
Jesus gave it to me, Im gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
I want to remember how much you love my Gir Cat. You love all your animals, but have a special bond with Gir. You are always patting him, and walking up and laying your head on his side while he's laying down. You give him kisses, and last night I watched you go take a clean dish towel from the laundry pile and walk over to cover him up with it as he was sleeping. You wrapped it around him just like it was a blanket, gave him a little pat and walked away. It just about melted my heart.
These are just a few of the things I want to remember about you right now my sweet girl.
