This time last year I was a mother, not only to our 2 older children, but to a little girl in China that I had yet to hold in my arms. I said a little prayer for each of them then as I did today...but today was different.
Today I got to hold my sweet girl in my arms as we dance around the house, washed the sticky syrup from our morning pancakes out of her hair and off my arms. I also got to hear "Happy Mother's Day, I missed you here" and "I love you" from our oldest son (which I have to admit shock the pants off of me).
At the same time as all the joy, I feel sad. My heart aches for a woman in China who no longer has her sweet baby to hold and dance around the house with her. To get to know how wonderful, outgoing, funny, smart, caring and beautiful CiBaby is. I also feel a great sense of joy that I'm the one that was chosen to take this sweet being in and raise her as my own.
So today...Happy Mother's Day to both of us. Thank you and I'm sorry.
who knew life could be so *fun*?
Sit back and relax
About Me
- CzaMama
- The Tundra, Middle America, United States
- I am a mostly content mom that is trying to make her way in this thing called "life-at-home." Cooking, cleaning and having fun with a small child at her side at every turn. Forever Mama to CiBaby, I am a human tissue and maker/taker of fun. In my *spare* time I putter around in my seemingly endless city gardens, am a Certified Master Gardener, love to cook, preserve, and eat, am a self-proclaimed Foodie and at the end of the day I try to blog some.
Conversations with a 4-year-old
Sitting down to dinner...CiBaby: "I sure wish we had a horse." T-Daddy: "Well, if we had a horse we would have to live on a farm." CiBaby: "That would be GREAT!!!"
Driving in the car...CiBaby: "Mama, does Snow White have 7 dopes?"
Driving in the car...CiBaby: "Mama, I makin' sometin." CzaMama: "Really, what are you making?" CiBaby: "I making a ball out of boogers." CzaMama: "I see." (a moment of silence) CiBaby: "It not working!!!" CzaMama: "That's because you're not suppose to make balls out of boogers."
CiBaby was standing in front of her new mirror (nekkid)...CiBaby: "Look Mama! I have 2 moles right here and here." CzaMama: "No dear, those are nipples." CiBaby: "You have nipples too?" CzaMama: Yes dear, I have nipples too."
CiBaby was nibbling an apple...CiBaby: "Look Mama! A heart!" CzaMama: "You're right honey, it is in the shape of a heart!" CiBaby: "I gonna eat it, I like shapes."
