my girlie and her yellow ducky.

have i mentioned that i love my emma-girl???

she is at a very THREE stage. not quite little girl, not quite baby. moments of both- and she mixes them up just to keep me on my toes.

she bosses me around when she is in the "mama" role, and i am her "sweetheart". then she gets tired of that, and says, "my sweetheart, i'm done being the mom..."

oh little girlie. someday you will understand that once you are a mom, you are never done. every moment of the rest of your life is motherhood. the joy, the terror, the bliss and the pain. it's never done.

once a mom, always a mom.
