Dear Madeline,
Today you are four years, five months and two days old and your heart is the size of Texas. Thanks to your Dallas-dwelling aunts and uncle, we know just how big that is.
You want to share everything with everyone. You are always giving something -- bracelets, pictures, candy -- to your friends and family members. As soon as you make a neat craft at school, you are in a dilemma of figuring out who should get it.
Sometimes Daddy and I have to stop you because you want to give away something we really want you (or us) to keep.
When you see something cool when we're out running errands, you just fall apart asking me to take a picture of it so we can send it to someone. You are incapable of keeping something to yourself; it just has to be shared.
On Friday evening, I was really tired and ready to just be done with this week. Daddy came home from work and took you to Lowe's so I could rest a little bit. I hate to say it, but I was so thankful when you and Daddy left.
But you came home, just bursting to tell me something. You saw a rainbow, took a picture of it just for me and could not wait to climb on the couch and show me.
My mom guilt kicked into overdrive. Even when I'm cranky and tired and out of patience and steam, you still love me and are always thinking of me and everyone else you love.
I hope you always know even when you're cranky and tired and out of patience and steam, I still love you and am always thinking of you.
Thanks for sharing your rainbow and making my day.
Love,
