Since the start of the year, I've had several mommy moments with both kids, but I've been so busy dealing with everyone being sick that I haven't had a chance to talk about them. Let's see if I can get through this without Macho waking up from his nap.
First mommy moment: Macho said "mama" for the first time on his birthday. It was so adorable and I just melted. Of course, now the moment is gone and when he says mama, I get annoyed 'cause he asks for me All The Time! But still, at least he's talking.
Second mommy moment: Beauty started preschool. I remember getting her ready and putting her little backpack on. It was at that moment I realized just how much she's grown. Then when I took her to class and I had to leave her, I almost felt like I couldn't do it. I just wanted to stay there with her, but I knew I had to let go and let her grow up.
Third mommy moment: Beauty got her first Valentine cards on Valentine's Day. In preschool, all the kids made valentine cards to give to each other. She came home with a bag filled with cards and candy. I don't know why that was so special for me, it just was.
Fourth mommy moment: Macho finally learned how to pull himself up, so he should be walking soon. The reason this was so great is because one morning I went into the nursery to get Macho out of bed. When I walked in, there was a little head popping up over the side of the crib and when he saw me, he gave me the biggest smile. It was so adorable! =) Everytime he smiles at me, I can't help but smile too.
Fifth mommy moment: Beauty made a friend. You should know first that I when I take her to school, I have to take her around back where the school buses bring some of the other kids in her class. I do this because she gets upset if I take her in towards the front. There's a little playground right at the main door of the classroom and if she sees it, all she wants to do is play. So, I bring her to the other side and the teachers meet us there when they come out to pick up the kids from the bus. This past Tuesday, Beauty and I were waiting while the teachers got the other kids. There was one boy who came off the bus and was placed in line behind Beauty. When she saw him, she gave a big smile and said, "Hee," which is her word for hi. He smiled back at her. It was just the cutest thing I'd ever seen! Two little kids looking at each other and smiling.
Hope you enjoyed my mommy moments. I'm looking forward to having more of those =)
