You know you have to treasure these....

when you get so frustrated and asked for a reason, and her reasoning reminds you that she is only 6...
when her taste for clothing clashes badly with yours but you have to know she lives in her own fairies and princesses and ballerinas' world...
when she loves you no matter how bad the day was...
when she tries to be a good helper but sometimes makes a mess...

You know you have to treasure these...

when 'mamu' means Milo
when 'ahhhh per' means apple
when 'mor mor' means no more and he rotates his wrist to indicate the same
when the cow 'mmmmmmm' instead of 'moooo'....
when you ask him to keep his bibs in the drawer and he knows exactly what to do
when you are so tired in the middle of the night and he wakes up and thumps himself on you
when the weather is cold and he still pulls off his socks and walks one foot bare
when you think you can get him to sleep but he insists you must read to him first


These I will treasure... and can't wait for more...
