A Typical Day...

Today has been a typical day; nothing out of the usual. Mommy and Daddy both went to work and came home to the many chores and tasks for the evening, like normal! The days seems so long, while I am at work, without you. Sometimes it's hard to find happiness or force a smile. The stresses of work and life can so easily bring me down.
That is until the second I walk in the door to pick you up. Today, like everyday, you look up when you hear my voice, and you start to bounce and clap, smiling from ear to ear. You will start to talk, and mumble vowel sounds, with a "mamama mamama" to let me know that you are happy to see me. I laugh and talk to you the entire car ride home, so anxious to get home and play with you. Tonight, like most nights, I sat you in your high chair with your favorite, "Gerber Puff" snacks (you love them, and you love to shove like 6 in your mouth at a time, which makes me incredibly nervous!)
While I'm making dinner, I talk to you, sing to you, and dance for you. For some reason, you love my silly dance moves. You will laugh out loud and just giggle hysterically the entire time that I prance around the kitchen like a crazy ballerina. It takes so very little to impress you, and so little to please you. You are happy and you make us so incredibly happy every night and day that we spend with you. I feel like a star, as I dance for you. You have a special way of making me feel so special. The stresses of the day, of life...are instantly washed away with your smile. You are the remedy and the cure for it all! Your smile is my joy. I love you, Payton, to the Moon and back. (and then some!)

Love,

Mommy
