I'm sitting here after having a wonderful meal. I can hear the voice of Tim Allen playing 'Buzz Lightyear' as my little one watches 'Toy Story' in the living room. My two pups are passed out from their walk; the dishes are still in the sink..I'll do them tomorrow morning. It's beautifully warm outside right now and I can smell the lilac's through my window. The peepers will be coming out soon, and we plan on having a fire tonight if I can stay awake that long. I love looking out the yard, the lights along the deck; the hurricane lanterns that will be lit and the smell of the night air. I can her little feet and laughter now; she's running around wondering what everyone is doing. Her laughter is like music to me, when she wraps her beautiful little arms around me and gives me a kiss I feel like I am in heaven. Having my child has changed me in so many ways; and for her I am eternally grateful. Looking at her beautiful little face when she sleeps, the curls of her hair; I know she is perfection. I am fortunate to have her, I've dreamed of having her, and the reality is so much better than the dream. She keeps me wanting to be more, to be better, to work harder and smile more. And for her, I will be. I look at her and can not believe that a little person can have such a huge personality; how excited she gets, when she brings me lotion to rub on her arms and legs, how she sticks her tongue out and laughs when she's so happy, the cute way she dips her chips in the tinest bit of tomato sauce before she eats them, how much she loves her cars and dump trucks...everything. I am such a proud mommy..and if anyone wants to share their love for their child or children I would love to hear it. They are our legacy, we made them...
