Sweetness

I know I've had a verbal toddler for a couple of years now - (I can't believe Grace is almost 3!) But just this weekend, for the first time since November, 5, 2005, I thought to myself how beautiful the name "Mommy" sounds coming from a sweetheart of a little girl who just wants to be near me all the time.

Another thing I don't ever want to forget is waking up to the sound of Annie, in her bed, jibber jabbering away to her toy lambs. She does this every morning -for at least 20 minutes, just talks away. Inflections and everything. I so wonder what she is thinking about, but mostly I just love to hear the contentedness as I wake up --before the fussing for breakfast comes!
