As if I can only pick 10 things!!! Toddlers are truly precious gifts - They are truly little sponges.
I really did forget some of the most special things about these small humans. I think my most favorite thing about having a fourth child is that I am not stressed out about things and am just enjoying spending time with her. I take time to stare at her while she sleeps, just sit and hold her and go to the park. My house is sometimes a mess and many other things are left undone and it's perfectly okay. Everyday she learns something new or has a "first", it is wonderful. She is absolutely amazing. I laugh all day long, she says some of the funniest things.
These are not in any particular order, just some favorites.
- The twirling of her hair as she tries to go to sleep.
- The way she tries to keep her eyes open so she doesn't have to take a nap.
- Her little hands, they are so precious.
- Her little rosebud mouth.
- The way she says "Hold you Mommy" when she wants to be held.
- Her desire to soak up and repeat everything she sees and hears.
- Her soft skin - could anything be softer?
- Her silky, curly hair.
- Her big eyes and beautiful long eye lashes.
- Her ability to make me laugh even when I am mad.
Like I said, I could go on and on. I think it's safe to say, I'm in love with the little girl.
I find that as I spend time with her, I am reminded of little things that were special with my other three when they were toddlers.
Oh Yvonne, I couldn't agree with you more. Today I am all nostalgic because it's the girl's birthday and I'm remembering all the special things we shared when they were tiny.
