The Nicest Note I Ever Received

[porphyry]

Madeline just came to me with a note. She knows how to write all her letters and can combine them into small words but not sentences yet. Still, she handed me her note and said, "Read it." Not wanting to discourage her writing attempt, I said, "No, you read it to me so we can see how well you read."

She said, "It says 'You are the best mommy ever.'"

Forgive my sentimentality, please, but I have the best child a person could ask for. If people could special order children, Madeline would be the model. She has the sweetest disposition of any child I've ever seen.

God, I'm hormonal.

I find that when moments like that happen, it really hits me and makes me appreciate being a parent.

I know. And she's always been such an easy child, I wish everyone could have one just like her. Of course, I am a little biased. :)

When I told my mother I was pregnant again, I added, "I wouldn't mind having another Madeline but I don't think I could take another Andrew." Half in jest of course, but she's never been half as contrary as he is.
