It imakes me so sad to think that some day my little Piper won't want to sit on my lap or cuddle with me. She is such a sweet little lady. I remind myself a lot that these moments aren't going to be around forever. I look at pictures of Piper when she was the same age as Maysie and I can hardly believe that she is already so grown up. Ok, she is only 2, but it feels like I close my eyes for a minute and she was talking. I love the little moments that I have with her.....how each morning the first thing she says when I see her is "Where's Maysie?", how she likes to let the teachers at daycare know that "she is MY MOMMY", and when I tell her that her Nana is my mommy, she says, "My Nana"......Her new favorite thing is to walk with Brian up to the beach each evening. I usually send them with some bread to feed the birds. Brian tells me that Piper usually eats most of the bread, which is odd since she won't eat it at home. She likes to wash her feet in the shower at the beach and brings me home little shells and such. This morning when I dropped her off at daycare she told me "I walk myself Mommy". She then put both hands in the pockets of her jeans and swaggered her way into school. My litlle lady is growing up!
