Although Sam taught me what it felt like to love a child... Maicey taught me that loving a second child was not taking love away from the first. Somehow the magic of love allows your heart to multiply itself and all of a sudden you love two of them more then you ever dreamed you could love one.
Maicey Kay Munn entered my world on January 18th, 2008 at 11:59pm. She's stayed true to that "hold out to the last minute" personality to this day. She's the child that let's you get to "2 and a half" when you threaten "If I get to three you're getting a spanking!", she's the kid that lags ten steps behind you in the grocery store, and she's the child that can make you forget how mad those things make you and melt your heart with her sweet smile and bright blue eyes.
When Maicey was born she shook up our world in a way that I hadn't ever experienced. I, for once in my life, wasn't in control of the schedule, she was. She would wake up in the morning and foreshadow for you the entire day... we always said she either comes off the pillow with angel wings or her horns emerge from her head. My mother has always told me that my doctor when I was a little girl told her "she's not stubborn, she's simply 'persistant'", well I'm finding that trait a bit frustrating with my 3 year old :)
I'm so thankful for Maicey for so many things. For being my hopes and dreams of a ballerina baby, for allowing me to put her hair in ridiculous bows, for smiling at me when I'm having a bad day, for teaching me how to be okay with my schedule not working out everytime, and more then anything for teaching me that persistant children bring more tolerence, patience and joy then anything else in the world!
Just another thankful Thursday...
