Remind me of this face
When goldfish are being smashed on the floor
When she is frustrated because she doesn't have a vocabulary yet
When she screams during a diaper change
Remind me.
Of this face
These lips
This "give mama a kiss" expression
Remind me
When she refuses to eat her dinner
When she doesn't give a rat's ass about the word no
When she fights bedtime
Remind me.
One day my house will be clean
There will be no more diapers to change
Bathtubs will be void of toys
And all I'll have is memories
Okay that brought tears to my eyes! It's so true and although watching the kids grow is such a amazing thing it also makes me so sad. Time goes by too quickly. No!!!
ReplyDeleteSweetest little picture! Hope this is framed somewhere around the house!

ReplyDeleteSo sweet Laura! My mom always told me to cherish the nights when Oliver is keeping me up because they won't last forever and I'll miss our quiet time together when he's all grown!
