That moment

That moment yesterday, while trying not to break down in front of her - feeling emotionally defeated about the news of a big obstacle concerning my vbac, Sienna curled up next to me...grabbed a hold of my hand and in the sweetest soft voice said "are you ok mama? do you need a hug to feel better?" all while stroking my hand gently. 

Sienna, just when I think that I couldn't possibly love you anymore than I already do, you go and do something so kind, compassionate and so full of love.

to the moon but further, babe

so, very much further.

hugs & one million kisses,

mama

Sienna-isms (25 months)

Sadly but truthfully, we tend to forget some of the sweet memories and phrases that spring forth from the little sunshine you bring us throughout the day. So I've been writing some here. They are sealed tight in our online time capsule, waiting for you to one day take a peak and giggle. 

You like to sit on the countertop while I make breakfast, as I was tilting a pan, melting a glob of butter said "the butter is ice skating!" 

Whenever you drop a piece of your snack outside, you don't pick it up, instead you say "its ok the birdies will eat it"

  "mommy, are you pee pee-ing like Sienna?" now that you're potty trained you think its neat that everyone pee pees 'like you'

When we ask you if you'd like a certain something you eat, you usually respond with "no, can I have ____ instead?" and that instead thing is usually chocolate, your grandparents spoiled you when they were visiting last week

Anything thats broken, according to you always needs batteries. Your kiddie pool defleated the other day so naturally you say "I think it needs new batteries"

Your mamas favorite Pandora station 'Golden Oldies' must be rubbing off on you because the other day...out of no where you start singing "shimmy shimmy koko bop" we just about died of laughter...it was so random and hilarious.
