I cannot believe I am planning a 2nd birthday party!! Where did this year go? As I look back at her
first year blog, I am in shock at how much she has changed, grown, become a
big girl! It makes me sad, but she is also
SO much fun now. Like the fact that she shares my love for cooking and is always asking to create her own lunch, like today.....
I just adore this little chef!
I described her in 5 words about a month ago. Social, compassionate, intelligent, entertaining and vivacious. I left out stubborn and independent...those 2 characteristics that often lead to toddler meltdowns. It is so hard to believe how fast they turn into little people instead of babies.
I came across this picture the other night....
From June, when she still used a "Nuk". It made me want to give her the "Nuk" back, as crazy as that sounds, just to make her look like a baby again!!
I know I have to let her grow, but sometimes it's so hard! I see what happened with Joshua. One day, he's an adorable 5 yr old, the next he's a [I'm too cool for everything] teenager! It just seems unfair how fast it happens and I know how fast it does because I have already experienced it.
I normally do not make a New Year's resolution, but this year I did, a private one. I will say that yesterday, I untangled the necklaces in my jewelry box, started organizing our room and did a few more miscellaneous clean outs. So, that will give you a hint.
Here's hoping that 2013 will bring more organization into my life.
I've come to realize that if I could write my daily thoughts down, I would have a novel at the end of each day. But then I would be giving away all of my secrets.
Look at this little 1st birthday girl! ahh!

Yes, we all need to organize, but you have done so much to make this beautiful child what she has become. Never let organization interfer with all the things you do with Madeline. I remember how much you did with Joshua when he was a little boy, although he is a cool teen, I'm sure he remembers all the loving things you did, and will bring them back to you, just as Madeline will. They always remember the fun things you do with them. Just keep up the good work. Love, Memom
ReplyDeleteThank you, Me-mom! :)
ReplyDeleteI will never let housework get in the way, trust me, I don't like it all that much. Plus, Madeline tends to be my helper when we are doing things around the house. The other day, she helped load the washer...and put a glitter snowflake in there with it, our clothes may be glittery, but they are also clean. ;)
That's my girl! memom
