You Are My Maddy...

I was given the best gift tonight and I had no idea it was even coming!!! With the time change, Maddy has been ready for bed about 30 minutes earlier than normal. The past two Friday nights I haven't been stuck at work until 10:00 so I let her stay up as long as her attitude will let her. Tonight we didn't get far...made it until 7:04 p.m. After she said her good nights we climbed in the rocking chair to rock as we do every night before bed. I forgot prior to rocking that the power went off at some point today and her music wasn't playing. I decided to sing to her like I used to when she was a baby (have I mentioned I have baby fever really bad? That was going to be a whole new post the other night but I opted out of it because I didn't want to worry about being judged). The song she has grown up on is "You Are My Sunshine" but with her name inserted throughout the song. I was on my second round of singing and out of no where she just decides to say some of the words with me. Of coarse I am fighting back tears but I just gave her lots of praise and told her she had a beautiful voice and she did a really good job singing. That prompted her to want to do it again and again. She almost got to where she could sing all the words with me as I said it. I think I will remember this moment forever because it was such a sweet moment having my little girl sing along with me.

You are my Maddy
My only Maddy
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My Maddy away!
