Yesterday, Molly Grace and I spent the day with my sisters. We went shopping, of course. The Toles (Talbert for Meg now) are pros at shopping! While we were eating lunch, Molly Grace was behaving so well. It is typically hard to keep her contained in her high chair while eating out. My little one is quite the adventurous 14 month old, but today she was doing remarkably well. All of the sudden, she just looked up at me, grabbed my hand and kissed it. I can honestly say that has to be the best kiss I've ever received. It brought me to tears and I was overwhelmed with the love I have for this little girl who stole my heart all over again. I felt so overjoyed by that one simple kiss on the hand.
I am so blessed to be a mom, to be her mother. I write this post now to remind me when I'm stressed out or having a hard time with what seems to be early onset terrible twos, I can recall that moment and remember that it's all worth it.
Thank you for stopping by my blog! What a beautiful little girl you have and I just love her name! My Ella's middle name is grace (and I've always loved the name Molly).
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I completely believe the "terrible/terrific" two's really start around 18 months. I am learning, though, that each age has things that are difficult, but also so wonderful as well. Relish in those wonderful moments!
