Guess How Much I love you!

Since Maddie was a few weeks old we have been reading to her before she falls asleep. One of my favorite books to read Maddie is "Guess How Much I Love You". In this story the baby bunny is telling his dad how much he loves him and no matter how much he says he loves the dad bunny the dad bunny can show little bunny how much more he loves him. My favorite is the end of the book; "Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile "I love you right up to the moon
and back"














Another book I had forgotten about until I was taking to a friend was Robert Munsch's "Love you forever". I just read the story tonight and for being a children s book it brought me to tears in the end. A mother rocks her boy from the moment he is born until she is an old lady singing to him:
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

The twist at the end is the boy picks up his mom and sings to her as she is to old and can't finish the song so he sings to her the same lyrics only he says "As long as I am living my mommy you'll be" He then goes home and signs the same song to his new born daughter.

It rings true if you are a Mom. I think your child will always be your baby no matter how old they are or where they are.
