Mommy, did you know that you are one of my most favorite things? I mean, I like my toys, my books, and a good afternoon nap, but nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to you. If I could cook for you today, I would, but Daddy says you deserve more than Cheerios, especially today (and I think he's right).
You feed me everyday. You make my yummy food (blueberries, sweet potatoes, beef, and so many other tasty treats). You take me on walks and jogs (the runs are a little bumpy, but I still like them anyway, especially since I'm with you). You read to me every day. You sing to me. You play with me. You change my messy diapers. You talk to me in both English and German (danke!). You taught me some sign language. You took me to Kindermusik in the fall and the spring. You took me to swimming lessons earlier this year. You wash my dirty clothes and dishes. You get me dressed for the day and then again for bedtime. You give me baths. You read my Bible to me. You dance with me. You play games with me. You pick up my toys. You wipe off my face when I'm done eating. You take extra good care of me when I get sick. You take me to the doctor's office when I need to go. You make sure my car seat is secure. You keep me away from dangerous and icky things. You hold me when I'm scared or when I get hurt. You put me to bed eah night. You get up in the middle of the night with me when it's necessary. You hug me. You kiss me. You tell me that you love me.
Mommy, as we celebrate this first Mother's Day together, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and all that you do for me and for Daddy. You take such wonderful care of us, and you are a great example for a little girl like me to see and learn from every day. I am blessed to call you "Mommy."
I Love You and Happy Mother's Day!
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." (Proverbs 31:28-29 28, NIV)
