what's better?

Seriously, Macy Grace is at such a fun age. I love it. Of course, she can be onry and there are times that I get frustrated, I'm not perfect. Although those times, truly are few and far between.

Tonight was a good night.
She made a mess by tearing up paper and placing it all over the house, got into the cabinets and just generally did things that a 14 month old does.
Until it was time to go to bed.
I said, Macy Grace, it's bed time, you need to pick up your mess. Please go pick up the paper and bring it to Mommy.
And she did.
Again.
And again.
And again.
And her toys.
And the cups.
And almost everything she had dragged out. She didn't pick it all up but most things she did. That just makes me so happy. She is able to learn and follow directions. It's amazing.
So, now it's bedtime.
I say, Macy Grace, let's get your milk and go change into your jammies.
So we did and she walks straight to her room to change. We change and read a book. I gave her the choice to finish her milk or go brush her teeth, she gave me her milk and walked to the bathroom.
I sit her on the toliet seat lid to brush her teeth so she walks in and trys to put the lid down, I put her up there and we brush her teeth. She LOVES to brush her teeth. Actually, earlier tonight she was saying something to me and I was having a difficult time understanding her. I thought she said drink, juice. So, I went looking for her cup and she walked to the bathroom and tried to get on the toliet, she was trying to say teeth, as it brush her teeth!
How cute.
Okay, back to my story.
So, we brush her teeth and we go back to her room and pray.
When I'm done, she says, UuuuMEN.
It's heart melting.
I lay her down, give her pup pup and pig pig and tell her how much I love her and it sounds like she is saying Mindy while smiling ear to ear.
I say, No, Mommy.
She says Mooooooommy. (She likes to hold out her vowels!)
I say yes, Mommy.
She smiles.
I blow her a kiss.
She catches it.
She says, Ni ni.
I walk out nearly in tears over how wonderful it is to be a mom.
