Hiking

My husband and I went hiking today, taking our daughter for her first time. I am so happy she loved it. Afterwards, we were sitting in the kitchen eating dinner and I told her how proud I was of how she did. Her response was, "I'm proud of you too. You knew the way." It's amazing what things make us great in kids' eyes.
Being pretty new to the whole mom thing, the little things are huge to me. We play a game where, out of the blue, one of us will say, "Who loves Baba?" or "Who loves Melissa?" and the goal is to be the first one to say, "I do!" One day we were in the bathroom in McDonalds when she said, "Who loves Melissa?" and of course I answered quickly, "I do!" She told me, "No, I'm singing a song." and continued singing it with her answering, "I do." I was on the verge of tears of happiness to hear her singing she loves me when she stops singing as asks, "Do you know why I love the restroom?" Ummm...no... "Because we do toilet in here." So, she loves me and also the restroom because we do 'toilet' in there! Gotta love them!
