Love You Forever by: Robert Munsch

I was given this book after having my first child by a good friend's mother.  She inscribed in the front cover for me that I am a great mommy and she hopes that I continue to enjoy all the "stages" of motherhood.  I have read this book over and over to all three of my children and the words really touch my heart. As parents we will always see our children as our babies, no matter how big they get.  We take care of them and teach them many life lessons, all with unconditional love.  As our children grow, they will take care of us just as we have taken care of them. 

I relate Love You Forever, not only to my children, but to the children that I teach on a daily basis.  I make a difference in the lives of many children.  They each have a special place in my heart.

I am still trying to figure all of this out.  I feel like I have added everyone to my blog page like 8 times, then I come back and no one shows up.  I can tell there are going to be a lot of kinks to iron out here.  Wishing us lots of luck!
