I remember...

Now that Noelle has become more verbal / expressive, I am flooded with memories from when I was little.   I remember waking up in the middle of the night, going into my parents' room, and snuggling with my mom.  I loved that comforting feeling.  I remember the excitement with a little anxiety of my dad chased me (Noelle seems to have the same emotion).   I also remember the scared, lonely feeling when I would wake up and no one was there.  I watch Noelle in the baby monitor and see the few seconds of confusion until she gets upset.  Finally when we are playing Peek-a-boo and can't wait for the surprise (when is mommy going to pop up???).  

It's so fun remembering my own memories/feelings while watching Noelle create hers.  

Love, 

Noelle's Mommy
