Veronica: I want to remember how you are always so concerned about how Gabrielle is doing. You areso good with her and always takes care of her without being asked to help. I want to remember how you giggle when you talk about that one boy in your class that you like, but try to deny. I want to remember how you love to go to the store, etc. by yourself with me so we have one on one time. I want to remember how you and Brook team up on me and tease me and how funny you think it is! I want to remember how you love to help me in the kitchen and how good you are getting at doing more on your own. I want to remember how hard you try at learning to play basketball with girls who have been playing it for a few years. I even want to remember how frustrated I get while helping you with your homework or how you get irritated and stop to your room and slam the door...just like your Aunt Kim used to!
Presley: I want to remember your silly personality. I want to remember how you always want to help me clean. You will clean the windows, table, kitchen counter all day if I let you. Now, getting you to clean your room, that's another story! I want to remember how you play with Gabrielle and how much you make her laugh! You both crack up everytime you play together. I want to remember you always wanting to be home with Brook and I and how you get upset if I am gone for long periods of time. I want to remember how every day when I get home you meet me at the door and ask "how was work?" I want to remember how you don't like to hurt anyone's feelings and how caring you can be. I even want to remember the mean looks you make when you get mad...even though they drive me insane!
Gabrielle: I want to remember how big you smile everytime you see me when I get home from work and you come running to me with your arms up. I want to remember how much you love music and try to sing along to songs and dance everytime you hear music. I want to remember how you love the animals and always try to hug and kiss them. I want to remember how much you enjoy being outside and run to the door everytime you hear it open! I want to remember how you say "hi" as soon as you wake up in the morning and see Mommy or Daddy. I want to remember how much you love your big sisters and will always give them a smile. I want to remember how much you love your Daddy and think it's funny to constantly say "Daddy" when prompted to say Mama. It's very rare that you say Mama, but I think I smile everytime you say it. I want to remember how you always go to the cabinet and drag out the cereal everytime you think you need to eat. I even want to remember your ear piercing scream that you always do...especially when you are buckled in your car seat!
I know there are so many things that I left out, but these are the first ones that came to mind for all 3 girls. They are all growing up and changing so quickly and sometime it makes me sad. On the other hand, it makes me proud to see what polite, smart, funny girls they are all becoming! I love them all and can't imagine what it would be like without them here with us.
