Enjoying Every Moment

The two things I knew I wanted to be when I was a little girl was a mother and a teacher. I feel pretty proud to say that I have accomplished both. When I find myself feeling frustrated with my circumstances, I just take a step back and look at this amazing little girl that God has given me to be her Mommy or "Mama" as she says . Here are a few of my favorite things about Anna Claire Scherler :) - She loves to play outside and take nature walks with Nana. She calls sticks "skicks" and loves to pick them up outside -She loves babies and her favorite right now (well besides "Dah-wee" - Dolly) is a Cabbage Patch my Mom bought her for Christmas named "Awison" (Allison) -She sings constantly and doesn't care where she is. At the store, in the car, at school, at the dinner table, etc. My favorite ballad at the moment is "I wuv me, you wuv me, we're a happy faname"and then a beautiful transition to "Yes Jesus wuvs me!" -She has the prettiest eyelashes -She smiles with all her teeth and laughs so hard she can't catch her breath. -She loves to play chase with her "Pop" and sing "Duh duh Duh" - The Texas Long Horns fight song. -She loves all her friends at school and gives me a play by play on each one's behavior during bath time. -Her best buddy is Stella (my parent's dog) and she loves to pat her(it's more like hitting, but Stella doesn't mind). She is also obsessed about Cooper (Becca and Bryan Calvert's Dog) -She prefers Matt's (Lindsey's fiance') attention over all of ours when he is here. -She says "Hewoh" instead of hello on any phone and talks to Mimi and Daddy. -She LOVES all things Dora and is really getting into Princess stuff, Sesame Street, and Strawberry Shortcake. -She is determined and stubborn and showing a very strong personality, but then turns around and gives the best hugs and kisses. -She loves to say "Don't yike it" and "NO!" - but what 2 year old doesn't? Most of all she is almost 21 months and brings joy, pride and laughter into every day. She is the best gift I have ever been given and I can't wait to watch her grow into an amazing woman someday.
