Milestone for us

Rachel will be 2 in a week’s time. It has definitely been a good 2-year journey for us, with lots and lots of ups.

Rachel has grown up well, according to my standards… She’s lovable, cute and she’s quite well-behaved….most moms think the same way of their own children, I guess?!....

Every morning, I feel guilty leaving her behind to go to work.
Every morning, I am grateful Rachel behaved and gave me a good night’s sleep.
Every morning, I look at her in her car seat and wonder how lucky we are to have her….
Every morning, I already miss her before I leave for work.
Every morning, I kiss her to remind her that I will come home after work.

Every day, at work, I wonder what she is doing at home.
Every day, at work, I wonder what time she woke up that morning.
Every day, at work, I resist the urge to call home to check on her.
Every day, at work, I question myself on how I can cope leaving her behind to come to work.
Every day, at work, I miss her.

Every evening, I look forward to her smile
Every evening, I look forward to her making a fuss.
Every evening, I look forward to her waving our car into the porch like a parking attendant
Every evening, I look forward to her coming out to greet us home.

Every night, I kiss her loads on her face.
Every night, I hug her loads.
Every night, we chat and sing and babble.
Every night, Rachel puts me to bed with her chatter………

When writing this, I realized that we are going to have a soon-to-be two year old (shows how much we have grown up!). I realized how much I will miss her when she was a 1 year old…….but I do realize how much I am looking forward to what comes next!

I couldn't agree with you more! And I also think that our worlds revolve around our children all the time so we obviously think they're well-behaved, cute and smart! God sure knew what he was doing when he created us....
