Happy Mother's Day!
Big news: I'm getting married!!
Okay, technically I'm already married (hey, F). But Mads asked me to marry her last night and hell, I could do a lot worse.
Our 10 billion or so (I'm guess-timating) viewings of Mama Mia have left her a little bit in love with weddings: The big party, the pretty dress, the twinkly lights, the drunk dancing on tabletops. She also knows more than she probably needs to about paternity disputes. "Who's the Daddy?" is sort of an odd theme for a musical, no? But I digress.
Much like the night F proposed, when we were sitting on a moonlit rocky beach and he popped the big question and I laughed and said, "You're not serious?", my heart broke a little bit in a happy way when Mads asked if we could get married. Everything out of her mouth these days is so insanely adorable that it makes me want to squeeze her and never let go.
(Well, almost everything. For some reason she's starting to sound like a Valley Girl, peppering her little sentences with "like" and "totally." She was telling me a story, something about a trip to the playground and a very twisty slide, and it ended with, "I was, like, totally fweaking out. I was, like, fweaking, Mommy." Actually, even that is pretty cute.
Anyways.)
The other night I found myself doing something I haven't done in ages. Before I went to bed I for some reason snuck quietly into her room and sat for few minutes while she slept. It was like something right out of I Love You Forever - only I didn't drag her out of bed to rock her because I'm pretty sure she would've knocked me one - and given my dislike of that book I'm not entirely comfortable with the comparison. But to see her so peaceful and small, the blankets kicked off and her thumb hanging out of her mouth, it was a nice reminder that she's not growing up as quickly as it often seems.
Wishing you a blissfully relaxing Mother's Day - I'm sure you've earned it!

Awww...everything out of their little mouths is just the best isn't it? Well...for the most part! Brady picks up some whiney, obnoxious stuff from that damn Caillou, but other than that, it's just adorable. I must have him trained well, he likes to say, "you so pwetty, Mommy." Yup, some girl's gonna have her hands full with this Mama's Boy! ;-) Mads would whip him into shape, I think! LOL
