The Day of Love

Today was Valentine's Day. I didn't spend it with some special guy, being wined and dined. Or getting flowers.
I spent the day with the best Valentine ever, my daughter.

We went to town and then we went to see her Grandmaw and Great Aunt. They haven't seen her in a while and I figured that would be a good Valentine's Day gift for them.

But I think the best part of the day was coming home and rocking Kaylea to sleep.  I do it so many times during the day but today I stopped and looked at her while she slept. And marveled at how big she has gotten. I remember when she looked so tiny sleeping on my chest and now her whole body is as long as my torso. So instead of laying her down in her crib and doing the many things I needed/wanted to do I just layed back in the couch with her on my chest and let her sleep. Who knows how long I will be able to let her do that. or cuddle her up and cover her with kisses.

She is learning so many things now. Its like a new noise or action is put into her bank of "things I can do" on a daily basis. Just in the past week she has learned to pull herself up in her crib. She can walk when holding on to my hands and she has learned how to blow raspberries. But my favorite things are when she smiles and giggles when I come into the room, she makes a sound that sounds like she is saying "yay". And when she falls down she cries and reaches for me even if someone is already holding her. It makes me feel so important like I'm the only one who can kiss that bump or bruise and make it not hurt anymore. I want to be her hero in her non-magickal and magickal life. I want her to know that I'm always gonna be there if she needs me regardless of what she does. I am her mother and I will always love her.

Well I have rambled on long enough

Blessed Be
