I will start by saying that I love being a mom to a boy. I have always loved having a little boy around to play rough with and explore things with and play trains with and just experience everything that is boy. Zachary is my favorite little guy and this week I am missing him a ton while he is visiting my parents in the mountains.
In Zach's absence, I have been able to give special one on one time to my other very special little peanut. My baby girl. Until yesterday (her very 1st bday), Maddie didn't really have any girlie toys. She was happy playing with Zach's hand-me-downs and of course his trains (but I think she did that just to annoy him). She is happy being toted from place to place and doesn't ever mind doing whatever.
For her birthday, we bought Maddie her very first dollhouse. This morning, I put it together and we spent the better part of the day playing "dollhouse". Of course, my idea of playing dollhouse and her idea are two totally different things and it will probably be a while til we are on the same page (if ever). But, I didn't realize until this morning exactly how much I love being a mom to a girl just as much as I do a boy. Playing dollhouse...putting a special clip in her baby fine hair before we headed out for errands today and just doing all things girlie was SO much fun.
We are so lucky and blessed to have the two wonderful children that we have...but today I realized just how blessed we are to have all the experiences that come with a boy AND a girl!!!
