Two Year Observations

My little lovebug turned two last Friday. I can hardly believe it. We had to celebrate her birthday the weekend before because my brother was getting married last Friday and it would have been too much to try to have the party that weekend and be in the wedding.

The wedding was so sweet. I am so happy that my brother found someone to share his life with. I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen for him. But it did, and I think the one he waited for was well worth the wait. I wish them all the happiness in the world.

Back to Madie turning two. Now, when you ask her how old she is she says "Two" and holds up 5 fingers. It is so cute. I am amazed at how much she changes from day to day and how much she learns and displays. She is truly the love of my life---not that hubby is not the love of my life too--but in a different way.

Looking back on the past two years, I think about how much my life has changed and how much more full my life is. Having Madie has honestly "completed" me and she makes me so happy.

Here is a little list of how my life has changed in the past two years--In no particular order of importance--just observations of reminiscing.

1. I am now a stay at home mom---no fighting US 280 traffic every morning.
2. I used to use my rear view mirror to see what was behind me while driving. Now I use it to see what Madie is doing.
3. I didn't know who the doodlebops or backyardigans were or what noggin was.
4. I could take a bath without an audience.
5. Never had bought a box of goldfish.
6. Listened to the radio while driving. Now I listen to whatever movie is playing the the DVD player. Usually Finding Nemo, Shrek III or Bee Movie.
7. Never knew my heart had so much love to give to such a tiny person.
8. Never thought about every decision I made and how it would affect someone else.
9. Never had toys stashed in every available corner in my house.
10. Never thought I would enjoy changing a diaper. It's not so bad...I don't mind at all.
11. Never knew my heart would melt when I heard " I Luvs you, Momma."

That is just a few ways that my life has changed in the past two years and I wouldn't change a minute of it.
