Bursting with Love

Dear Mackenzie,

When we finished brushing our teeth this morning, you said, "I love you so much, I just want to scream it!" You had the cutest smile on your face and bunched up your fists as if you really were about to burst. Then you ran to your room screaming, "I LOVE YOU!!!!!" Day made!! Also, can I just say how much I like it that when we brush our teeth together, you always hold my hand while we do so? It's so sweet!

In other cute news, you later showed me how to add two-digit numbers and kept saying "and so" while you explained to me, which I just thought was so adorable. You are and always will be my favorite little girl!

Love,

Mom

Art Collection

Dear Mackenzie,

You love drawing pictures and making art! I have a pile of your creations on my desk (as does Daddy, JieJie and your GuhGaws) and almost every day, you give me a new one to add to the collection. The stack is good two inches tall and the declutterer in me wants to clear it away but then I look through it and I can't bear to throw away something you made especially for me. You also write me notes and the most recent one is so sweet: "Dear Mama, I love you evey day! I am allways happy with you!" I know I will have to find somewhere to store all these things from you but I also know that I will cherish looking at them years from now. 

Love,

Mom
