Madeline and I spent today at my parent's house since my mom and brother had the day off. We watched the snow fall throughout the day, ate Special-K loaf and apple crisp, took a 2-hour nap and watched home videos.
It is always wonderful to go back home.
Anyways, my mom and I were talking about the P&G commercial and she said it's exactly how she feels.
I realized this means that sometimes my mom probably sees me as a giant hairbow-wearing 5-year-old with two missing front teeth who is caring for a tiny little munchin who is the spitting image of her baby girl.
I already can't possibly imagine Madeline heading to kindergarten, much less graduating college, creating a career, falling in love, having babies.
I want a million mornings like today when we can wear our pajamas and take silly pictures. I know I can't have a million but I'm grateful for the last couple hundred with my baby who will grow some more tomorrow.
Life is so strangely wonderful and beautifully absurd. I love it.

Ugghh, that commercial kills me, too! Especially since half those kids seem to be the same age as my daughter, and like you, I can imagine her any bigger than how she is just at this minute.
Oh - it's almost as bad as the Folger's/Peter commercial at Christmas time. Love the blog changes...and the haircut! :)
Your day sounds like mine did! I was over at my mom's with my little sibs watching the Olympics, Alias, eating everything in site and all snuggled up in blankets and sweatpants! :) Gotta love "mom's house". Your hair is super cute - Did you just get it cut? I might copy you ;-)
Love the new look of the blog, love the pictures, and LOVE your thoughts :-)
I LOVE that commercial! It is so adorable. I agree...growing up should be illegal.
