Happy Mother's Day From Maddie & Z!

Mommy,

Hi this is Maddie.

Ok, it's not really me, but if I could talk more, this is what I would say. Daddy helped me write my thoughts down.

You are a wonderful mommy. You're careful yet encouraging. You talk to me so clearly and so patiently that I am learning to speak very fast. You tell me when I shouldn't do something, and you praise me when I do something good. This helps me to learn the ways of this great big world that is so very new to me.

I love to look up and see your face, watching down on me as I play and talk and sing. It makes me smile.

I love to dance for you, and I love when you dance with me. Sometimes I fall down or hit my leg on the chair when I dance, and you're always there to pick me up and kiss my boo-boos.

I love when we're just silly and laugh and giggle about nothing at all.

I love when you bathe me and help me wash my tummy, and I love the way you brush my hair so all my curls pop up for everyone to see.

I love the way you hold me when I'm sick and scared and don't feel good. You make me feel so safe.

I love when you help me dress up, and thank you for not minding that I wear your shoes around the house.

I love you because of all these things, and many more too.

Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!

Maddie
