I want to dedicate this blog post to some of the silly and adorably cute things you do that make me smile. It may seem weird, but one day I'm going to be an old woman and I might not be able to remember all of the little things you used to do that would make me happy. These are just some of my favorites, if I wrote down everything I loved about you, we would surely be here forever.
Let's start with how you hide things. You love hiding things. You will hide your toys anywhere you can. Under the couch, under the bed, in the trash and I even find stuff buried in our hamper. It's quite cute!
You. Hate. Shoes. And socks. You hate them. You are constantly taking off your socks and shoes when we go out. I usually end up giving up the fight and throwing them in my purse. People probably think I'm some crazy mom who never puts shoes on her child.
You love to help me vacuum and sweep so much that we had to buy you your own toy vacuum and broom.
You fake laugh. It's hilarious.
When you are in my room with me while I'm getting ready, you particularly love getting into my makeup and hair products. It's frustrating picking everything up after you, but I like to secretly think it's just because you think my stuff is awesome or something.
If you get angry or annoyed you will literally throw yourself to the ground and pretend to cry. This may not seem cute, but you are so melodramatic about it that I can't stop myself from laughing and thinking, "yup, you are definitely my child".
If I hold one of your cousins in front of you, you get extremely jealous and cry for me to pick you up instead. In some sort of twisted way I love how you get jealous for me, because it doesn't happen too often anymore. It's a little reminder that when it comes down to it, I'm still your main girl.
When I put you down for a nap or bed, you grab the corner of your blanket and suck on it like it's a pacifier. I don't know why I think it is so adorable to watch you do. Occasionally I will sneak into your room and watch you sleep. I'm sorry if that seems creepy.
Sometimes when I am doing dishes you will come up from behind me and bear-hug my legs. It is simply the greatest feeling ever.
I love that sometimes when I do my hair and makeup really nice, you will stare at me like you think I'm beautiful. This one has to be my favorite.
Like I said, I could go one forever. I love everything you do, and every day I'm amazed by how smart and funny you are. My mom used to call me her sunshine, and now I know what she was talking about because no one could light up my life the way you do.
Love,
Your mom
