today mommy celebrates her second year as a mommy on mothers day. I remember last year you were three weeks old sleeping in your swing the whole day while family came to celebrate the day with us. I didnt get to nab a photo of you and I, you were so sweet sleeping I didnt want to wake the beast. This year is so different. I awoke to a toddler in my bed screaming to get up at 0730. Daddy let me sleep in and you and he played outside with patches. We are on our way to a family BBQ with uncle Chris and aunt December and great grandma Fran when you wake up from your nap. Today makes me think of all the things I am grateful for and what motherhood has brought to me.
1. I am grateful you are healthy
2. I am grateful you are MINE
3. I am grateful you can walk, crawl, and meet all of your milestones with ease
4. I am grateful you are sassy and have your own personality
5. I am grateful you sleep through the night.
6. I am grateful you have never been sick (other than an ear infection)
7. I am grateful you and your father have made me a mother
8. I am grateful for the time I had with my mother and think about how much more I would appreciate her if she were around (I never knew how hard a mothers job was until i became one).
9. I am grateful for our families and all of the love you have around you
10. I am grateful for everyday i get to spend with you
11. I am grateful for the little sibling I have baking in my belly right now.
I often think of my mother but on this day it is especially hard. It is a day to celebrate your mom, to cherish her hard work and dedication. Though i can still do that in thought, I cannot express that to her in words. I may never have given my mother the mothers day she truly deserved. I hope I can be the best mother to you, and guide you through this tough world. I hope we celebrate many years of mothers day with one another and love each other more every year.
