Some days with my girls are crazy . . . well most days. I get to the end of most of them wondering if my oldest even likes her mom.
Today I asked her if she wanted to go outside and take some pictures with me. She played mommy's game and carefully cradled one of our succulents in her little hands while I took some shots.
Tonight I stayed with her awhile as she lay tucked in bed. She is a chatterbox and I usually have to remind her its time to be quiet or she won't fall asleep. As she jabbered on I asked her what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said, "A Mommy, because I love you so much! I teared up then, she couldn't possibly know how much that meant to me or how much I needed to hear it. As I look at this picture I get choked up again. What I really see is not a succulent but my heart in those precious little hands of hers.
love this post! :) and a lovely picture to remind us how much love goes between a mother and child!
