"I love you, Momma"


Recently Emma, our sweet, sensitive, (usually) soft spoken 3 year old has been on this ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL "I love you, Momma" kick. It is just the sweetest thing EVER. Several times throughout the day she will drop everything only to tell me she loves me most.
IT.MELTS.MY.HEART.
(and brightens my day)
This afternoon Jason suggested I plan a girls night with some of my friends. But instead I decided to take my sweet girl on a date!!!! With all of the craziness in our life I want to make sure she doesn't acquire "middle child syndrome." Colin often gets to spend 1 on 1 time with Jason and Olivia is pretty much attached to my hip. Most of the time Emma is just along for the ride. So 1 on 1 time with her is EXTRA special. We kicked off our date with a mani/pedi!!! As we sat in our chairs soaking our toes we talked about all of the most important topics of the world. Tangled, princess',butterflies and dance class. And every couple of minutes I was cut off with an "I love you, Momma."
After our mani/pedi we headed over to Sweet Factory and her eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree. She picked out 3 candies (b/c she is 3 years old ;) and as we were checking out I got an "I love you, Momma." From there we went to Sisley for dinner. We chit chatted andslurped spaghetti and every couple of sentences I was reminded with an "I love you, Momma."
I seriously heard it 1000x tonight and it was just as special the 1000th time as it was the 1st time. She is such a treasure to our family and brings us SO much joy!!!!
I LOVE YOU my Sweet Emma Roo!!!!
