Mama

Amy is such a great Mom!

She's so good at raising these kids! 

I'm so very glad that she can stay at home with Paige.  It didn't work out that way for the older two kids, but both would have benefited from Mama being at home more.  But this time around, we're doing it right!

Look at that silly little face!  Little Paige loves her Mama!  And why not?  She's easy to love.  Paige hasn't spent a day in daycare or away from us.  And she's happier and healthier for it.  I'm so glad Amy can stay with her. 

Mama has done some remarkable things with this little girl.  She has taught Paige to sign key words long before she developed the vocal dexterity to form the words.  So we've been able to communicate with her much sooner and longer than we would have been able to do otherwise.  It's been great!

She also taught Paige to say "yes" (by nodding her head) BEFORE Paige learned to say "no!"  That's right!  This little girl nods her head in response to most questions asked to her.  This has set the stage for a very agreeable personality.  Let's hope she keeps that!  It's been wonderful to have her answering questions and carrying on conversations in her own little, delightful way.  What a joy!

Amy has also taught her several cute little expressions, coy looks, and shy giggles!  It's just hilarious to watch this little girl!  I'm a little concerned about what an adorable little girl could do with that arsenal of "cute" weapons.

And it's all because of Amy.  She's had the time to spend playing with and teaching Paige all these things and more, much more.  I shudder to think of what Paige would be like without her Mama's influence on her personality!  She's made such a difference in who Paige is becoming and who she is already.  Amy is truly fulfilling her role as mother.  She does such a good job at it, as well.  I couldn't be happier than I am, right now, to be married to this woman!

I Always Love My Wife!
