i just wanted to tell you the days like these are my favorite. we haven't done much all day, but we've been together. in our pajamas. just the three of us.
i've been working on laundry, and it's scattered in folded piles all over the living room. i'm trying not to care. i have much better uses of my time this morning: you.
bella, you&i made chocolate chip cookies while emmy, you watched from your bouncer seat. bel, the kitchen became a disaster fast because you wanted to do everything on your own. flour went everywhere. i have to bite my tongue often and remember that you having memories of cooking with me is far more important than the endless sprinkles of flour littering my once-clean kitchen.
one of my favorite things to do is turn music up loud and the three of us dance through the kitchen. emmy, you're too little so i hold you. and it's my *favorite*. because i love how your chubby little cheeks feel pressed against mine. i can't stop kissing them! you laugh as we spin around and i shimmy you from side to side. you are so happy; your smiles are contagious and you just ooze with such sweetness.
bella, you LOVE to dance. and i love watching you. you like dancing with your dolls; this morning you twirled belle all over the dining room. as you spun in circles you said "mama! you dancin with emmy, i dancin with belle!" you are the cutest thing. even though you tested out markers on our couch and the dining room table, threw fits all morning and wanted me to hold you every second. i still love you and your sister more than life. my heart literally feels like it will explode sometimes.
you girls and your daddy are the biggest blessings god has ever given to me. you are some of the sweetest joys of my life; you fill my heart until its overflowing. i can't tell you how much i love being your mama.
days like today are the best.
love you with all my heart,
mama
