Never forget.

There are things that happen everyday that I think to myself, "I hope I never forget this." 

Don't get me wrong.  There are things I hope I don't remember, too (this week, especially it seems).

But, I want so badly, to bottle up the sweet times and things that make each child unique.  These are things that only I will know when they are 20-something in college.  As their mommy, I get front stage into their lives, and these are just a very few things I hope to always have in my mind...

Every night, Charlie sleeps with "Daddy puppy" and "baby puppy."  He holds onto his daddy puppy every night as he drifts off into dreamland.  So sweet.

Layla has this face whenever she concentrates.  When she colors, cuts, reads, etc., she has this cute little look on her face.  A kids play is their work.

Maleah is a lover.  She leaves me notes every single day like this.  She is so proud when I get happy and love her work.

And she LOVES art.  She draws how she feels all the time.  I find out more from her drawing than I do from her speaking.  Here is our family.  Pretty nice looking, aren't we?! 

I love that there are things that are only for me to know.  May I never forget their sweet qualities that belong to nobody but them.
