You Are My I Love You




I took Abi to the library today and we spent some time looking at books, and I came across this beautiful book that sums up my feelings about being a Mom, and how much I love my Abi. Parenthood is such a gift, a miracle and a joy. For every hard day, there are so many more wonderful joyous moments. Moments upon moments that I wouldn't give up for anything else. This poem/book helps me see the simple wonder of childhood and the relationship between a parent and a child. 

You Are My I Love You 


Author: Maryann K Cusimano
I am your parent you are my child
I am your quiet place, you are my wild
I am your calm face, you are my giggle
I am your wait, you are my wiggle
I am your audience, you are my clown
I am your London Bridge, you are my falling down
I am your Carrot Sticks, you are my licorice
I am your dandelion, you are my first wish
I am your water wings, you are my deep
I am your open arms, you are my running leap
I am your way home, you are my new path
I am your dry towel, you are my wet bath
I am your dinner you are my chocolate cake
I am your bedtime, you are my wide awake
I am your finish line, you are my race
I am your praying hands, you are my saving grace
I am your favourite book, you are my new lines
I am your nightlight, you are my sunshine
I am your lullaby, you are my peek-a-boo
I am your kiss goodnight, you are my I love you

I think I saw that book at the library last week but didn't read it! Loved this post. And LOVE that first picture of her, it is ADORABLE! She is a cutie. We need to get her and Ella together to play more - they were so cute today!
