Will you remember today? Will you remember how you, Rebecca, woke up at 6am eager for play and hugs and "piggy" whom you threw out of your crib? Will you remember how we waited patiently for Mary-Gail to wake up, and then we couldn't wait any longer and played below her crib hoping she would hear us to wake up and play with us?
Will you remember how we harnessed the girls and climbed in the wagon and went for our morning walk? Will you remember how you both smiled when I signed "potty" as ArlaMae went potty? Will you remember wearing your matching 'roller-skater' outfits that JoJo bought for you? Will you remember going for a bike ride to Pappy's house before naptime to get a treat?
Rebecca: Pappy played "airplane" with you and you loved it!
Rebecca: you sat on the cement, played with the dirt (and ate it too)
Mary-Gail: you got a kick out of Pappy tickeling you with his "pokies"
Pappy shared his orange with us. Only you, Rebecca, wanted to eat the rind;
and you, Mary-Gail wanted to squish the orange sliced in your hand.
Pappy buckled us in and filled up our sippy cups for the ride home
Do you remember the color of your bathtime water tonight? And do you remember nodding off to sleep as I sung our bedtimes songs? Will you remember that I love you and I will always love you?

That was the sweetest post EVER!! Your such a good Mom!
That post got me all choked up! It's amazing how much time flies and how you forget all those little, day-to-day things. Thank you for reminding me to treasure everyday and the short amount of time I have with them while they are still little. My kids turned 3 yesterday and I can't believe it!!
