Mother's Day

12 May 2013

Dear Josslyn,

Daddy asked that I do the entry for today since it was Mother's Day. The last two years, this day has absolutely become one of my most favorite days. You are so excited to show me what you have made or done and today was no different. This morning while I was getting dressed you brought me a giant card that you had coloring all over. Daddy had traced your hands and you were so excited to show me your cute hand prints. I love every minute of it. No matter what you do I will always love it. Although I admit it's going to be hard to figure out where to put that giant card so I can keep it to always have.

At church today you were so good. We were a little late but you made it through great. You went to class with Daddy today but you came to visit me as often as you could. Like you knew today was special. I love the way you show your feelings and communicate. I hope you always have an easy time making friends and talking to people. It is something that I have always struggled with so it is nice to see you do so much at such a young age.

We had a relaxing movie watching day. Daddy was really entertained by how much you love watching Tangled and can sit for so long just watching one movie. Being so young, usually you run around long before a movie is over. We had a lot of good cuddle time. This is always my favorite time. You love to sit on my lap and play with my hair. It is one of my favorite things. You are the best snuggle buddy, but don't tell your dad. :)

Thank you for being my daughter. I am so lucky to be your mom and I cannot imagine what else I would do with my life. I am crazy about everything you do. Sometimes being a mom is so frustrating and hard, but the next second you'll give me a hug or smile or shout something funny and my hard heart is instantly softened. Thank you for letting me be your mom and for wanting to show your love to me everyday.
