I just love this picture! Kayden is my little BFF who follows me everywhere, wants what I have, and just seems to need me all the time. At times it can feel a little overwhelming, but when I hear her say “Mommy play with you” (we’ll work on her pronouns soon! She means play with ‘me’), it just tugs at my heart strings. I always stop what I am doing to sit down and play with her. There is no love like the love of your child. Hearing her say I love you Mommy and sing our little song: “I love you. I do, I do, I do. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck” as she giggles, knowing that I am on my way over to tickle her belly, is the absolute highlight of my day. As I wind down my job and I look forward to meeting my second daughter, I find my time with Kayden to truly be priceless. I know there will be no other time where my day solely revolves around her and her needs alone. She will soon have to share her BFF with her ‘baby sister’ as she so sweetly has learned to say. I want each day I have with her to be special and I want her to feel like the center of my world for as long as possible. I am so excited for her to meet her sister because I just know she is going to be such a great nurturer!! I’ve already taught her how to feed a baby (aka Elmo) and then burp him. Next week’s lesson will be changing diapers! 😉
