I recently did a post titled "Ask me anything" where I invited ya'll to ask me stuff you'd like to know about me. Well, my 7 year old niece, Logan, has asked a very good question that I'd like to answer here. She asked "What is your favorite thing to do with Lily?" Well, Logan, I have thought long and hard and here is my answer...
It is not one particular thing that I enjoy doing with my girl. It is all of the little moments we share on a weekly basis that warm my heart, make me smile or laugh, make me beam with pride, and cause me to thank God for sending me my little angel from heaven.
- I like when she first wakes up in the morning, climbs out of bed to find me and greets me with "Good morning, momma, Buenos Dias!"
- I can't wipe the smile off my face when I watch her reading her favorite books -- word for word...even if I'm the only one who can understand all of what she is saying.
- I enjoy doing our puzzle of the world and talking about how we flew on a plane to China to get her and bring her home so we could be a family...and she chimes in with "and we flew over the American Ocean!"
- I'm touched by how she needs a "hug and a kiss" from everyone before she can leave someplace.
- I am proud to see how "nice and fwendwee" she is with all of our neighbors and even perfect strangers that cross our path.
- I have such a good time when she insists we have a "picnic" lunch on the front porch with our big blankie.
- This might be weird, but I love that she needs me to hold her hands when she goes poo poo on the potty...she needs my support for such a big task!
- I love our talks and when she gets really giggly for no particular reason.
- I love how funny she is and how often she makes us all laugh hysterically.
- I love dancing with her.
- I will never tire of hearing her call me her momma or telling me that she loves me sooo much.
And one of my VERY favorite things is watching her with you and your brothers. She loves her cousins more than anything. Your relationship has blossomed into something so very beautiful and she is so blessed to have you in her life and I know you will all be friends forever...
I hope you enjoyed my answer. I'm so happy you visited my blog. Love you, sweetie! XOXOXO

What a wonderful answer.I thinks she is a very luck girl to have you as her mommy.
I just love that. It is the little moments that make being a mother magical.
It's all of those little moments that make life so wonderful with your little one. Isn't motherhood all you hoped for but even more?!!
Hearing your daughter call you Momma must be an amazing sound. I cannot wait for that day.
I love this post, Nikki and think that it is one that Lily will enjoy reading someday.
You're building such a beautiful relationship with Lily. You're a great mom!
Those are the most special things in life...right there! Have a great day!

Oh, Nikki, every post you write just shines with your love and with Lily's sparkling, loving personality. And oh how she cracks me up -- "Buenas Dias"! -- has she been watching Dora?
P.S. Thanks for checking in on me! I have written a little catch up post on my blog. Everything is A.O.K.!
Thank you Aunt Nikki that was a great answer.I love you all very much.
Awww, this is so sweet. You know Lilly is so awesome! Of course having an awesome Mommy makes it easy for her to be so awesome too. I love the part about flying over the American Ocean. How could anyone not just LOVE this girl??? :)
