Why?

Malone has reached THAT stage.  Everything is "why?".  I tell her to pick up her toys, and she says "why"...if we are out somewhere and I tell her it is time to go, she says "why".  And the list could go on and on. It is so funny!  And I have actually started using that cliched response of "Because I said so".  At first I was explaining the reason why and giving her very detailed answers...but then the "whys" kept coming and it became automatic to just say "I said so".  Oh goodness!  :)  I love her dearly and she keeps me on my toes.  She is too smart for a 3 year old and I can only imagine how it will be as she gets older!

Mother's Day was yesterday and it was a wonderful day.   Justin and the babies gave me some very sweet cards and a gift certificate for an ultimate facial/massage.  I can't wait to use it!  After we got ready for church Malone told me that I looked beautiful and that made my whole day.  We went to church and then went to eat at Harvest Moon.  My mom, aunt, and Justin's parents went.  I am very blessed to have a fabulous Mama.  She is the most selfless person I know.  I see how other mothers treat their children and their attitudes can be so selfish, and I thank God that I had such a wonderful example to teach me about motherhood.  I am so blessed with two wonderful babies of my own and I am so grateful for them!!
