Adri: Mommy, I love you!
Me: Awww...I love you too Adri.
Adri: You are my baby Mommy?
Me: Yes, Adri...I'm you're baby. And you're my baby too!
Adri: And Sammy's your baby too! We are both you're babies!
Me: Yes you are! And I love, love, love you both! More than anything!!!
This is Adri's and my daily conversation at some point or another each day. She is obsessed with calling me baby and asking me if I'm her baby. :) The only reason I can think of is because I always call her baby and sing her and Sammy the following songs, substituting their names into them.
Yes Sir, You're My Baby by Sharon, Lois and Bram of the Elephant Show
Which goes a little something like this:
Yes Sir, You're my baby
No Sir, I don't mean maybe
Yes Sir, you're my baby now
and my other favorite song:
You are my Sunshine
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skys are grey.
You never noticed,
How much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear,
While I was sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
But when I awoke dear,
You were not with me,
So I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are grey.
You never noticed,
How much I love you.
So please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear,
While I was sleeping,
I dreamt I held you in my arms.
But when I awoke dear,
You were not with me,
So I hung my head and cried.
and finally, the song I've been singing to Adri for 3 years now and Sammy for almost one:
Who's my pretty baby by Elizabeth Mitchell
which goes like this:
Who's my pretty baby?
Who's my pretty little baby?
You're my pretty little baby
This is my attempt to chronicle our family's daily adventures, love, and struggles.
It is my hope that one day Adri and Sammy will read these stories of their childhood and remember the love, happiness, and adoration that was poured into it each and every day. The two of them are the sunshine in my day and the happiness that has completed my life.
