Today, I’m celebrating my 15th Motherversary!
Has it been a decade and a half, already? Gosh, but it seems so long ago. I mean, I still remember her first tooth (she only had the one on her first birthday) it stood out in the middle of her smile and made her look like a little pumpkin head.
She was the first to call me "Mommy" and give me a present on Mother’s Day — a faded coffee mug that says "#1 Mommy" and…yes…even I’m surprised that I haven’t managed to break it, yet!
[knocking on wood]
I remember the first time she got really, really sick and, when she was
hospitalized at 8 months, it was also the first time I felt as if, you know, I was going to
die.
I remember my first attempts at sewing, when I made a Halloween
costume for her (and her baby sister, at the time) and found the absolute joy, that is Tacky Glue — thank you, Aleene!
Thing One was the first to have a friend sleep-over, to walk to the corner for a gallon of milk and still kisses me goodnight by saying, "I love you…Momma!"
It stands to reason; she will probably be the first to tell me just how badly her father and I managed to screw up her life.
It’s okay, though.
If growing up means that our children end up hating us, even a little, then I guess we BOTH still have some growing up to do.
Right now, we’re good.
[knocking on wood until knuckles bleed]
Happy Birthday, baby!

This is beautiful Liz. I finally understand why my own mother celebrated my birthdays so joyfully every year. The first child definitely has a special place in a mama’s heart.
