I Don't Say It Enough!

I really don't say it enough but I am so so lucky to have Sophia as my daughter. I am so lucky to be her mother. I grow each day as she does. I learn to see the world with my generous and wondering eyes. Simply watching her play, gives me great joy. She is learning so much daily. She is so smart. She knows more signs than I can count, learned to ride her car, and just yesterday she learned A B C in sign letters. Sophia is more than just smart. She is so sweet. She shows love so purely. I was getting frustrated last night because it was well past bedtime and she was refusing to sleep. She would fall asleep and as soon as I laid her in her bed she would be awake. I picked her up for the 4 or 5th time after having her asleep and said now Soph this needs to stop and then she just wrapped both of her arms right around my neck and hung there tightly. Melted my heart. I quickly realized that it is in those late nights, I can be overwhelmed with true love.....


I have so much love for Sophia. I have so much love for my husband. Watching her love Sophia so much as made me love him even that much more. So if I haven't said it enough, I am so blessed beyond belief to have them both. I draw strength from them daily. We may have hard days and nights, but they are getting easier. Rough days make the good ones even more sweet. This weekend we went on our first family venture to the zoo. It was a success. We went into the dolphin show. They don't allow strollers but because we have it packed full of her gear we asked if we could bring it with us. They put out chairs for us in the front of the bleachers. Sophia was a hoot. She was smiling and waving at the crowd. When the music started for the show, she began clapping and watching. It literally brought tears to my eyes knowing the pure joy she was having. I can not wait to create more of those memories with her and the hubs. We are better people because of Sophia. She lights our world.
