Good Enough

Today was just one of those days that I don't want to forget a minute of. 
After a very busy day yesterday we were both really looking forward to some Mommy and Addie time. 
Here are some things I don't want to forget about today
-Her sweet voice in the morning, always so happy and chipper, (she is such a morning person) saying "Hi Mommy, Hi Daddy, I awake!"
-Doing puzzles and singing songs when I should have been getting ready for the day
-Giving in and doing "one more puzzle a me Mommy" after we have already done 5 
-Her sitting in the bathroom with me while I shower and singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on repeat as loud as she could. 
-Her insisting on picking out her own outfit all the way from her shoes to her hair bows...such a diva
-Finally getting out the door after picking out a book a doll AND a softy to take with us
-Going to the library and watching how excited she gets during Story time
-Meeting Daddy for lunch, which is a very rare occasion- "Daddy you get in car with us, Peassse!"
-a super easy nap time and a accidental nap for Mommy
- Her deciding she wants to be a Dinosaur at dinner time
-A family walk to get ice cream listening to her describe all the cars driving by
-Jumping on the "mommy bed" and snuggling baby sister before finally talking her into a bath
-listening to her and Daddy talk and play in the bath tub 
-Snuggling one more time and reading extra books at bedtime...then hearing "Do you love me Mama?" "I love you too"
-Listening to Daddy sing her goodnight songs and finally giving in when she says, "I need a Mommy sing"
-Hearing her sing "I am a child of God" to herself before her room gets quiet and she is finally asleep
Thats what I want to remember about today....
This is what I want to remember about our life in 10 years...I want to remember her voice, her giggles and how I felt completely needed, loved and GOOD ENOUGH just being Addie's Mom.

Life could not be better, more sweeter, more precious than right now. 
And yet, as I sit here feeling my other sweet baby girl wiggle inside me,  I somehow think that I may be wrong about that.
