Since my baby just turned 1, my older baby is about to be 3, and Eric and I are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary tomorrow, I decided I wanted to try and do something to help me preserve our family memories. There are so many sweet and cute things that the girls do, and I am so afraid that I am going to begin to forget them, and it makes me sad to think about that! For example....the other night Melanie had a "perftict idea". After Meredith went to sleep, she wanted to play cards (which for her is the Disney Princess Memory game). So we sat down and played Memory, and when we were all done she looked up at me and said, "Mommy, I love my peezles, and I love my cards, but I love you the best." Talk about melting my heart!! That was honestly the sweetest thing she has ever said to me. Or, when we were walking in to Kroger the other day...she was wearing her bathing suit and blue cover up and her Hannah Montana glasses, and I said, "Come on, diva, we need to get going!" and she looked at me and said, "Mommy, I am NOT a diva, I am a pop superstar!" The kid is not even 3 years old yet! It's the things like this that I want to make sure I remember.
We just finished up our last day of princess camp today. The best day that I saw was on Tuesday when Melanie was Princess Jasmine. They all sat on their magic carpets and were imagining what they were looking down at. One little girl said she saw a cow, one said a horsey, one said she saw her mommy and daddy. Our little girl? Stares at the floor and says, "All I see is tape." She was staring at the spots marked where they were to stand. It took the teacher a few seconds to stop laughing. I don't know if I have ever been so happy to have had the video camera going!
And Meredith....she had more fun at princess camp than most of the girls there! She crawled around, danced, found herself in the mirror, stole the stars off the floor....and the teacher was so great, she didn't even care! We had her birthday party up at the pool last weekend and had a lot of fun. She was having such a good time that she wouldn't even get out of the pool to eat her pizza - I had to put it on the side of the baby pool and she stood in the pool eating not 1, but 2 pieces of pizza! She is our little Magoo......I really never thought that I could love 2 people as much as I love these 2! As difficult as it can be sometimes, I couldn't imagine my life without them!
Now on to us......married 5 years already?!?!?! That is so hard to believe. 5 years ago I was on my way up to Athens to get married, probably about to get ready for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner right now. I don't think if I could, I would change anything about that day...it was perfect....I think back on the last 5 years and I just feel.....tired! Great, but tired. We have done A LOT in the last 5 years!!
Let's hope I can keep up with this....I need an outlet so I don't let all my emotions build up on me!! :)
