Love.

i can not get enough cuddles before bed time, enough kisses before leaving for school, and enough love throughout the day. It amazes me that this tiny person can leave a constant smile on my face. That even though i know i have 6 hours of home ahead of me, and that the next morning is going to be rough, i will still play and cuddle on mommy's bed despite the fact it is past bedtime. Saying goodnight is just has hard as saying good bye in the morning. I love you little Riley Jane, you are such an amazing person i want to surround my self in everything that you are all day long.
I love it when John sends me picture messages throughout the day. The picture i recieved just now was "Today we went to the moon"

I love them, i love my little family more than anyone could imagine. And i am so thannkful that they are happy and healthy and love me just the same.
You cant explain the love of a child to someone, you have to experience it. i am so overwhelmed with pride, excitement, love and joy all of which my child brings me. She really truely is absolutely amazing. She is such a bright, enthusiactic fun loving child to be around. It breaks my heart and makes me proud all at the same time. She is learning so much and can put together more concepts than i ever could imagine her doing at the age.

This morning, Riley walked over to a toy in the yard (that we accidently left out when it rained) when she lifted the seat there was water in it. She was going to put her shoes in the little compartment. She stop, looked up and gasped and said "ater" and pointed down to the seat. I said "oh no, is there water in there" she looked at me and nodded her head and tried to dump the water out. She then walked over to the flowers and said "ater" looked back at me then back at the thirsty flowers and said "oh no, ater"
The fact that she understood that the water went into the flowers, and the fact that the "dying" flowers needed water simply amazed me.

i have seen her do this before but i took the time this morning to absorb the moment. Not being at home with her all day anymore has allowed me to really see the accomplishments she is making, they are a bigger deal than what the big deal was before.

... i had to stop my homework to rant about my child...
im done. <3
