As a mom of a baby/toddler, sometimes you feel like you give, give and give some more---without getting much in return.
Well, today, I got a little something. Just a little nugget of a reward from my dear daughter. Mara Kate has been trying to "talk" for awhile now and has a limited amount of words she can say clearly as well as an unlimited amount of jumbled syllables/babbling. One thing she is very good at saying is bye-bye and she even understands the concept of what "going bye-bye" means and uses the phrase in the correct context most of the time.
This afternoon she woke up from her nap and I could hear her babbling and playing in her bed. When I opened the bedroom door to get her up she was standing in her bed and looked up at me as I entered the room and smiled and said "Hi!". It was the most precious thing--and I was so impressed that she used the word Hi as a greeting---she is learning language and concept! These little minds are such amazing things.
Anyway, as any Mom would know---this simple "hi" completely melted my heart. I swooped her out of her bed and covered her face with kisses!
I love when you are blessed with little rewards after 18 months of mothering---especially when they are totally unexpected. :)
