The terrible twos are quite the challenge and I see why people say consistency is so important. I think she is a very good little girl, but she is extremely sensitive and stubborn. It makes me think back to when she was a baby and how everyone thinks the first year is the hardest, but I loved my little pal. I agree that the first year is challenging, but there is something about a first child. It's 100% one on one and I miss it. I wish I would have blogged when she was a baby so that I would have kept those moments that can be so quickly forgotten.
I have more time to bond with Brielle than I thought I would, but it will never be like when Amelie and I were super pals. Now, my mind is racing faster, and there is more activity that takes me away from Brielle. Luckily I have my Wednesdays where nana takes Amelie so that Brielle and I can have the whole day together. It's amazing.
I had an hour of alone time with Brielle tonight because Brad took Amelie to the store. I had a very happy and Emo moment with her. I was listening to Pandora radio and a song called American Honey came on by Lady Antebellum. I was dancing with Brielle and she was smiling and enjoying it very much. I just looked at her and started to tear up. She is my American honey and I realized that the first year is all about falling in love with this person you hardly know. Even though she is my child I don't know fully know her yet. It takes time and I can't wait to find out who she is and what she will become. And, it's those moments where you bond and learn something about your child just from a smile or a laugh.
I am madly in love with my girls and I thank God for them. Biggest blessings of my life :) They make me so Emo, but in a very good way.
