It was so exciting to celebrate my very first Mother's Day. Being a 'mom' is awesome and I don't think it's something I can describe. There really isn't anything I wouldn't do for Maddy and I guess that is what it's all about. It's funny how your priorities change when you have a child. Suddenly I'm reading labels like crazy at the grocery store, checking the recycling numbers on plastic containers and opting for 'organic' whenever I can. With all the things they have found with BPA or phalates/parabens, you really do have be much more aware. Who knew that something as simple as finding a moisturizer would require research. I suppose a couple of years from now they could find something else that is harmful, but I guess you do the best you can with the knowledge that you have at the time. Besides, seeing her smiling face when she wakes up makes it all worth while.
I had a great first Mother's Day. Josh brought Maddy into our room this morning along with a Mother's Day gift. I swear that the grin on Maddy's face was a little brighter than usual! It was almost as if she was 'in' on the surprise gift for me and she couldn't wait for me to open it. We went to Joanne's house for brunch with my family and then Maddy and I went for a walk around the neighbourhood while Josh took Lyn to the airport. By the time we got home, the three of us were pooped. I guess she was little more 'pooped' than we thought because she wouldn't go down for the late afternoon nap. I'm happy to say that she is now sleeping peacefully for the night and I can't think of a better end to my Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there.

I love this picture too. She has grown so much. We can"t wait to come and visit. One more week. Yeahhhh.
I know what you mean about reading the labels and stuff. People sometimes think we're crazy for analyzing all that stuff. Happy belated first Mother's Day Monica.
