This phrase was coined when Gabby was just a little one & learning to say "I Love You". It actually made its way down the line and was used by Braly and now by Morgan. And Morgan sure is using it to make her momma's heart melt. About 40 minutes ago I took Morgan up to her room to read her a story (10 Little Ladybugs), sing to her, and lay her down for her nap. She is so adorable that I nearly started crying (I know I'm a big sap, I can't help but enjoy my sweet baby). While I sing to her, she often puts her face really close to me so we are cheek to cheek or her cheek is very close to my mouth as I sing. Well she also does this cute thing & pushes that sweet cheek to my mouth so I will kiss her and then she keeps doing it throughout the songs that I sing. She has the biggest, grandest smile on her face while she is doing it & her giggle makes me laugh as she enjoys momma's kisses. Sometimes she pauses for a little bit so I actually make it through part of the song before she smooshes that cheek up for kisses again. I totally love putting her down for naps now. The special time with her is so meaningful to me.
It's not always been like this but naps have always been better than betime but now both times for bed are looking good and maybe that's why I am reveling in all the 'loves'. Oh and this little girl keeps telling her momma, I La Lou, I La Lou, over and over and over again. I don't think I could tire of hearing that. It's too bad she won't stay this little for much longer. Sometimes I think time should just stand still so I can enjoy every moment more and more. I think the hardest part of being a mom is not the picking up after, the putting away, or the disciplining but rather the letting go and always moving forward. Maybe that's why I enjoy scrapbooking so much. It gives me a chance to mull over the memories a little longer as I watch my sweet 3 grow.

Hey Jeannette - Thanks for the encouraging words. They were quite timley as Caleb just found out hours ago that he didn't get the job. He is really bummed.
ReplyDeleteBesides that...this post mad me smile :) I absolutely love bed time with Kennedy. She sleeps with us still. The other two sleep in their own beds, well, Reagan starts out in her own bed but end up in our sometime in the middle of the night...but anyways..every night Kennedy wants to cuddle so she says "Mamma go night, night me" (she still doesn't talk real well for being 3) So we usually take a shower together then get in our jammies and cuddle. She tells me she wants to talk and sing. She instructs me what to sing and it usually the word Orange over and over to the tune of Jingle Bells. Latley she has been throwing in a couple other colors, mainly black, green and yellow. Her job is to sing Pink to the tune with me. Sometimes when she is napping, I will hear here singing "pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink..." to that same Jingle Bells tune. It is way too cute. She also often asks me to sing about Jesus, which of course brings such delight to my heart...
Jeannette now is the time to enjoy those little ones with all the memories, I think I cried through your whole blog productions. It was good feeling all the feelings you've been enjoying. You are so expressive and put life into a lot of your everyday memories.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that Morgie expresses her love to her mommy.
