Remember That ONE Day When…
To Hannah from Mommy - Remember When...
You woke up that night a few times and I did my best to put you back to bed- and yelled probably a little too loud once or twice. (I was just really tired since I stayed up to watch the Kardashian wedding until 12 am). It was still really frustrating as I just want one night to sleep through the night. Sometimes it is hard, I'm sorry.
Remember When…
We got ready for school and you said thank you so much for this delicious breakfast (of Lucky Charms) and I said, your welcome sweetie. Anytime!
Remember When…
We were driving to school and you tried your best to steal the attention of you’re younger brother by saying he was doing “this little piggy” incorrectly- and I said…STOP TALKING!! And let your brother finish what he was trying to say and that not everyone has the same way of doing things?! You were then quiet. Thank you.
Remember When…
I needed to drop you off for school, but we were late for the bell so I couldn’t walk you to class. And you said don’t worry Mommy, I will run. I said I love you so much and Have a good day and we blew kisses to each other. Your so sweet!
Remember When…
I said, are you sure you are OK with taking the bus home from school? And you said, yes mommy its fine, the bus driver did not touch my privates. And all I can think is…you are getting too big too fast ... AND please don’t repeat that to the anyone or the bus driver. PLEASE!!
Remember When…
You got home from school..starved? And I said, why don’t you eat your lunch at school? You then said, because I'm having too much fun! That's cute. You then continue to eat from the time you get off the bus until you go to bed. You are growing way to fast! This is evident by the extra foot you have grown in 6 months. I am so glad you love school!
Remember When…
Mommy needed to get dinner ready and you wanted to help when you were little? I had you zest a lemon…and guess what happened? You cut your hand and never forgot. (you tell me every time we are in the kitchen). I'm so worried you will get hurt again, I'm afraid to have you help sometimes. But I love that you want to be with me..and you want to help. Thank you.
Remember When…
I tried to make dinner and you insisted I give you something to eat, something to drink and sat on the floor right in front of the oven and I yelled at you. That was frustrating. Sorry.
Remember When…
We were in the car with Daddy and your brother (and Mommy and Daddy were talking) and you said …Mommy..Mommy…Mommy...M O M M Y! and I said…WHAT????!!! And then you said, I forgot what I was going to say. That was seriously frustrating.
You know how sometimes when we are in the car and we sing that song: Get, Get, Get your frustrations out (instead of shake the sillys out?)…that’s for me.
Remember When...
You and your brother sat down to eat dinner, but you each got up 15 times and I got mad and yelled at you. I'm sorry, but that was really frustrating.
Remember When...
We sat on the couch and watched Giada do her cooking show( mommy’s favorite) and you were so quiet but so curious and also so excited? Then you want to immediately go and make whatever she had just made. I love those moments and I think you do too.
Remember when...
We sat down at dinner and you said Mommy, this dinner is so good. It is almost just like Giada makes…but better. That truly made my day. Thank you.
Remember when…
I sat down to look at a magazine and then you jumped on me (and the magazine) and said…I love you Mommy. And I said – I love you too honey (what do you want?????).
Remember When…
We were about to go to bed and you asked for some water, and then you said ICE COLD Mommy- this is not ICE COLD..and I got frustrated and said, please say…Mommy may I have some ICE COLD water please? I was frustrated.
Remember When...
We got ready for bed, you brushed your teeth, you tucked your babies in and gave them kisses, you picked out a book…and we read and you actually picked out some words? I LOVE those moments.
Remember when...
I laid beside you in bed after our story and said I'm sorry I got so frustrated today, I love you honey. And then you said, Mommy…when did you get frustrated? Tell me … when?? I said Shhhh Honey, its quiet time, don’t worry. I love you. And you said, OK Mommy, I love you too.
And then I sang…your love is better than chocolate, better than anything else that I've tried. (from the Sarah McLaughlin song –our favorite).
And its true...your love is so much better than chocolate, better than anything else in this whole world.
Hannah and Mommy having beauty day outside. Thanks for making me relax with you...I love it!
To Chase from Mommy-
Remember When…
You woke up a few times in the middle of the night and said…can you come lay with me? Its sweet, but so frustrating. So, I lay and then after 10 minutes of saying 1 more minute…you then say, ok…just one more minute and you smile, grab my hand, hold it tight and then you go to sleep. Its really frustrating because I just want to sleep through ONE night, but its sweet and sometimes... I really love those moments.
Remember when...
You say Mommy, want to come play in my room with me? And I say, In one minute honey…let me finish this one thing, let me clean up a minute, and then I promise I will come play with you. Sometimes I get to and sometimes I don’t. I'm so sorry.
Remember when…
I picked you up from school and you ran and hugged my legs? I said did you have a good day? And you said Yes. And then I put you in your car seat and you said...I Missed you Mommy. And I said I missed you too honey. And my heart melts.
Remember When..
You woke me up at 5 am and said…AM I GOING TO SCHOOL TODAY??? And I say yes, shhhh. And then you continued to yell, I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL! I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL! For at least 10 minutes.(while I am still in a dream state)…and I said…QUIET!!! STOP saying that, we are going to school and that’s enough! You say, NO…NEVER, I'm not going to school!!!!
And then you stomped off and yelled, NEVER, NEVER!! And I kind of giggled, but got out of bed, I got ready and then said…I have Lucky Charms! Guess what? after that …you were fine. This is seriously frustrating.
Remember when...
I couldn’t find you anywhere in the yard and you were hiding in the garden going #2 potty? And I got really Mad and yelled and wanted to know if you were a dog? I was upset, I'm sorry, but it seemed to work (for a few times anyway). We are working on it and its…very frustrating.
Remember when...
You came up to me and hugged me tight and said…Mommy, You’re the Best!! This melts my heart and makes my day, every day!
Remember When…
You took the stool in the kitchen, propped it up to the pantry door, took out about 10 chocolate pieces, hid them in your pocket and then went in the corner of the den and ate them? And when I asked you…what were you doing- you said…n o t h i n g Mommy! This is frustrating.
Remember when…
You had a tantrum for 20 minutes because we did not have the Red boxed apple juice? You were tired. This was frustrating.
Remember when..
You picked out a pretty lady in Dad’s Maxim magazine and said…I will love that girl one day! Your sister and I laughed and laughed. THAT was a funny moment! (and I had it on video, but lost it). This makes me sad. But I have a mental picture, and I'm sure you are going to do it again.
Remember When..
You said Mommy, Mommy, where were you? I missed you! ( I was in the bathroom). That was sweet. But I sometimes just need to go to the bathroom…ALONE! It is very adorable but kind of frustrating.
Remember when...
You said Mommy, this is “yummy in my tummy” when I make you something good to eat.
Remember When...
You would not listen and I asked you NOT to do something at least 100 times and you finally say…Ok, Ok, ...Ok. This is frustrating.
Remember when...
You said – Dang it! (and in the right context as we were trying to make you finish your dinner) and I asked, where did you hear that? And you then said…THE OFFICE! Now, that was hysterical.
Remember when…
You said…Mommy, I LOVE THIS FAMILY! .... That’s my favorite!
I am attaching a song that I started singing to the kids. I love it because now...all they can say to Daddy and I is ... They love us more than chocolate and ice cream. And sometimes, there are sprinkles and even cherries on top! Now...how can you get better than that?! :)
