MomMom, Maddie and PopPop in Delaware last weekend
Nana, Mommy and Maddie in Maryland on Mother's Day
Maddie, my darling daughter who I love with all of my heart...
It's so hard to believe that Maddie has been home with us for over a year now, she has grown so fast it is scary...I want to soak in all of her toddlerness because I realize it won't be here for very much longer. I'm so proud that she is confident to want to do more and more herself each and every day, all the while I'm hoping she still wants my help. I love the way she kisses each and every Elmo in her bedtime Elmo book when he asks if he can have a kiss, the way she says "Oh man!" when she drops something, I never want to forget the way she leans over and waves goodbye to her pee pee after she goes potty, or the way she cuddles up and sniffs her blanket when she's tired and sleeps. I try to remember that she is just two when I go to wake her in the morning only to find that she's completely undressed herself and is happily sleeping naked with her little tush up in the air or when all she wants to do is "help" Mommy while she is cooking, doing laundry, or just standing in one place, Maddie needs to be right there. My heart melts as we put her to bed when we hug and kiss and tell her nite nite, Mommy and Daddy love you, and she replies "for ever and ever"....how true that is!

That is just the sweetest photo of Maddie looking out the window!!
Thank you Stephe, It was actually an oopsie photo...I was trying to get her doing something and she moved quickly ( as is normal when trying to take her picture ) but it turned out nicely! =)
Oh, Kimmy, your post made me cry it was so beautiful and so poignant. Happy Mother's Day to a truly wonderful Mommy!!!
I'm really a big baby. I cried and cried reading this! Glad you enjoyed your Mother's Day.
