Dear Maggie,

All you want is to hold our hand and play with our fingers every minute of every day, especially when you sleep. It is very sweet. But not very practical. I'm trying to find the balance between helping you learn to sleep with out holding my hand and cherishing every second of it. I know that I need to help you sleep independently, for your sake and for mine. But I also know that you won't want to hold my hand forever and I want to enjoy it while I can. Sometimes I look down and see your chubby little hand holding my finger and my heart melts completely. Dear Maggie, you are the sweetest little thing, the perfect blend of sugar and spice. And I hope that you will always want to hold my hand......... just not every second of every day.

I love you baby girl.

Mom
