Maddie luvs chocolate!

he loves me…he loves me not…do you remember this game? find a pretty flower and pluck the petals one by one…while asking a VERY important question…when I was 15 years olds it was if a boy liked me! today it is will Maddie be ok…or maybe a better question is will I be ok…recent questions I have decided to let go of are as follows….will Maddox get sick and have to go to the hospital or will she stay healthy…will she stricture or will she beat the odds…will she drive or will she live with us forever…will she get married…want to have a baby or want to adopt a baby…will she hurt and cry…all things I cannot control…all things that I could ask the same of Maximus…so I have decided to put the uncontrollable questions behind me and celebrate that today Maddie wore a pink tutu swimsuit…that in 10 days she will be one years old…that I survived this first year and the world did not end…even though her one and only tooth has disappeared I will be at peace that it will return eventually! I am at awe that my big girl is scooting on her shoulder and head forward to get something not just rolling….I am celebrating that Maddie is now done with formula…that my little girl LOVES mac-n-cheese! and I have to hide veggies in it already! that she LOVES chocolate licorice! it really is helping with her chewing motion! did I mention she also LOVES chocolate cheerios…my goal in the next 10 days is to make sure she is slurping out of a honey bear…and resisting the urge to put chocolate milk in it! so now I will begin plucking a new pretty pink flower…with better more important questions to be asked…chocolate or strawberry birthday cake…
