To never forget how precious my Lilly has been these past couple of nights. Every night we read a couple of books....her favorites right now are "little pea" and "home for a bunny." But after that I usually turn off the night, give her kisses, say our prayers, then I go downstairs. The past couple of nights I have stayed up there and we have talked, Lilly has given me lots of tickles, played with my hair, just given me the most sweetness I ever imagined. Tonight we sang some songs, and she gave me plenty of snuggles.....oh she is so precious to me. I can't even put into words how beautiful and sweet she is. She is perfect to me, full of life, innocence, and love. What a complete blessing God has given me by allowing me to be her mommy.
I just hope I never forget these past few nights. Those face to face giggles and snuggles with blankie and Lucy. Those kisses on those chubby cheeks. Those piggies snuggling under her blankie. Those whispers. The way she goes though her list of everyone in her life and tells them night night in a little whisper. The little paddy game that is saved only for mommy. The "hold-do." Silky side up on her blankie. The way she runs her fingers down the edges of her blankie for a little comfort. The pink jammies with brown polka dots. The smell of Johnsons and Johnsons baby wash in her wet hair. The way she so freely throws her arms around me when she thinks im asleep. How she makes the most perfect spoon. My little lovey.
There are so many memories that I hope I never forget, sometimes you just need to write them down. Being a mommy those memories come every single day. I am actually terrified that I will not remember. Maybe I wont, but at least I have this blog to look back on and remember.
She makes me smile.
