Mommy's Thought For Thursday: My Sugar Magnolia...

My baby is turning ONE.
She is well on her way
to becoming a sassy little lady.
She is no longer a baby.
She climbs stairs.
She feeds herself.
She communicates.
She shows STRONG emotions.
She laughs.
She sings.
She screams.
She cries.
She is FEISTY...
This tiny little baby came home
from the hospital. She ate.
She slept. She pooped.
She cried.
That's all done now.
I ache to hold that little
baby in my arms again.
To nurse that little bird...
BUT forward we move.
As I long for the time I will
never have again, I become
grateful it was ours at all.
The dance continues and now
this little bird is finding her own way
a little bit more everyday.
I am thankful I am her guide.
I am grateful I am able to
dance with her as she continues
to grow. to laugh.
to love.
and
LEARN...
Forward we move.
I celebrate YOU my little
Magpie.
My Sugar Magnolia.
I have grown immensely this year
because of
YOU.
YOU are full of LIFE.
JOY.
LOVE.
LAUGHTER...
and it is so
contagious.

Thank you.

I LOVE YOU
Maggie Moo!

xxoo,
Mommy
