i treasure our nap times so much. one time a few months ago she told me she didn’t want to lie on my chest to sleep. it made me so sad and i wanted her to lie on my chest so bad that i threatened to leave the room and make her fall asleep by herself if she didn’t lie on my chest. so she lied on top of me and since then, she’s never told me otherwise. i don’t care if i threatened my child, i want her to sleep on my chest forever! 🙂
so the other day after she drank her milk and got her pillow on me and lied on top of me, i whispered to her, “I love you forever, Adi.” then she whispered back to me, “I love you forever too.” and I started crying! I had tears streaming down my face because her voice didn’t sound like a 2 yr. old child, she sounded so grown up and more like a teenager. then i thought about how i only have 15 more yrs. of her until she leaves for college(don’t mention it, i get so sad everytime I think about it), how long she would want to lie on my chest to nap, how long until she wants to spend every waking moment with me right next to her, how long until she stops asking me “why?” on everything because she’ll realize I don’t know everything or simply don’t want my advice or answer, oh man I’m tearing up again! am i pregnant? haha don’t worry, i assure you i’m not.
people say kids this young are the golden years, before they go to school, since you’ll get to spend 24/7 with them. as much as sometimes i wish they would leave me alone and give me a little space, most of the time, I love it. I really love it so much.
mommy loves you adi and ana. forever.

That is so sweet, yesterday Axel was being a daddy's boy and as much as I HATE to admit it, and couldn't wait for the day to come, I was a little sad. I thought to myself is this the start of him not wanting to be my little cuddle monkey? But rest assured he was back to his snuggly self that night for bed time.
They grow up so fast wouldn't you say. I can't believe Adi is 2!
