Madalynn you are 22 months old today! Where does time go? Why does time go by so fast? I wish you could stay small forever, but yet I look forward to the years to come. You definitely are a very independent 22 month old. There are moments that I just shake my head because you are such a DRAMA QUEEN, and than of course there are moments that I just want to freeze.

Your MY daughter
Your hugs

not my kid
I swore my kids would never be that baby in the store who was throwing a tantrum! Boy was I wrong. I thought I had this whole parenting thing figured out. I refused to ever allow my children to co-sleep. I refused to let them become picky eaters. I swore that they would never throw a tantrum in a store. I really thought that I had it all under control.
Then I had kids! Snotty nosed kids, picky eater kids, tantrum throwing kids, co-sleeping kids, kids who bite, non-sharing kids, nose picker kids...
My patience sure have been tested over the years. 4 kids later...I still have hair, some grey hairs. I have cried myself to sleep many of nights. I have put myself in mommy time-out many times. I have asked myself a million times what am I doing wrong? I swore I would never have another kid...after each kid. I have spanked my kids too hard a time or two. I have wanted to run a way...FOREVER. I have pretended not to hear the baby cry, just because I am too exhausted to get out of bed. I have forgotten to feed them a meal before.
I am not a perfect parent...that's for sure! But I love my snot nose, tantrum throwing kids with every single breath that I take. I would die for these kids. No one else will ever know the strength of my love for you. After all, you are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside.
"I'll love your forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be!"
