25 things I love about being your Mama
I've been inspired by Facebook
- When you sit down on the couch and pat the seat next to you in a gesture to your brother to come join you.
- Your %100 confidence in me when standing at a high ledge and then jumping into my arms.
- When you look at one another out of the corner of your eye and giggle. I know it usually means there's something sneaky about to happen, but it's still cute.
- I love our new routine of waving 'good-bye' at the front window. Although I know the good-byes are sometimes hard for you, you also seem so eager to give me a good send off into my work day. Thanks, hon.
- When you teach me new ways to creatively play with the most simple object.
- When we dance and sing together in the basement.
- I love that you often talk and coo and sing yourselves to sleep.
- When I'm driving and I look back in my rear view mirror and see two perfectly content little faces happily bouncing along to the music and watching the world go by.
- When you both say "Hi" in unison to everyone you see on the street, at the store, in the mall...
- The way you make everyone light up when they see you. I used to cringe at the attention from strangers and now I could not be more proud.
- When you both say "bu-bye!" as you walk into another room and then follow it with "have fun!".
- When you walk around the house in your dads shoes.
- When you put your coat and hat away, exactly where they belong, without even being asked.
- The way your whisper "cheeeewwww, cheeeewwww" quietly when we pass by a train yard.
- How you read books to yourselves, pointing out each object and making up new works for everything.
- How you read books to each other.
- The way you both love bath time together and the fun games you come up with in the bath.
- How you are learning to take turns. Even though it seems excruciatingly painful to wait for something, you are understanding the concept and are even saying "peeezzz" and "tank-u".
- It makes me feel like I've got some sort of magic power when you are hurt and need a kiss on your boo-boo. It really is %100 better instantly.
- I love when you give your brother kisses when he's hurt himself... or as an apology if you've bit him.
- I love when you give me kisses on both my cheeks and then my nose. I'm not sure where you learned this but it melts my heart.
- When you gasp, wide-eyed, at something you think is awesome, then say "WOW".
- When you say "YUMMM" with each and every bite of chocolate pudding.
- The way you hold on so tightly when you need your mama.
- When I say "I love you" and you whisper back "a-wuo-wuo", I know you mean it.

Priceless and precious, Dana! xo
That's wonderful. When they are older, they will really cherish that.
