Sunday I celebrated my first Mother's Day as your Momma. I still can't believe that I have my own holiday! All day I just felt like I should be thanking you and Daddy for MAKING me a mother!
Just because I'm sure by the time you're able to read this, you'll have forgotten what wonderful presents you got me (or maybe because you weren't actually on the shopping trip at all), I'll fill you in. You are so thoughtful. You got me a book that I can read to you at bedtime and a book to keep track of all of our little family's milestones. And, my favorite, was a little necklace with a "G" on it that I'll wear all the time so you'll always be with me, Lil' G (that's your rap name by the way).
When I was rocking you to sleep after a long day of gift giving, brunch eating, and park walking, you looked right up at me and stretched really big and shook your pompoms (it's this really cute thing where you stretch your arms over your head so big that you little fists shake) at me and smiled. That was the best thanks I could've asked for.
Gracie, thank YOU for being my daughter. I'm the lucky one :)
xoxo
Momma
