Precious Moments

It is not often I do a post with no pictures but I want to remember this. I was sitting on our couch today talking to a friend on the phone while Ezri watched her Micky Mouse Club House DVD. Out of no where she just wanted me to hold her on my lap while she watched her show. I was still talking to my friend and I looked down for a moment and saw that Ezri was holding my pointer finger in her little hand. This really touched my heart. I know that I will not have to many more moments like this with her and I want to remember it forever. She loves me and finds comfort in my touch. It is times like these when I realize that being a mom isn't a thankless job. What a reward! This short moment made me feel so loved and needed. It was like one of those unexpected hugs she gives me every now and then.

Another great moment has come every night before we put Ezri to bed. Before I put her in her crib I sing to her the song, "You are my Sunshine." She has always found comfort in this song because I have been singing it to her since she was a baby. I sing it to her when she is hurt or sick as well. Now she is starting to sing along. It is so cute. No one can love a child as much as I love mine.
