The kind of Momma I want to be....

I will do everything I can to Be There- For YOU! I grew up in a different kind of home. Grandpa Kitto was really sick and Grandma Kitto had to work to provide for my family. That was really rough for me. My mom tried so hard, but she couldn't be there for me all of the time.

If God allows it, I will be there.

I will help you pick out your outfits, if you'll let me. I will teach you how to tie your shoes.  I will wash your hair with yummy smelling shampoo and rinse it just right so you don't get suds in your eyes (unless you move, silly.) I will comb your hair and style it very nicely, and I promise to be up to date with my style as best I can. I will sit and chat with you about your day and your thoughts.

I will help you find or make the best hat for crazy hat day. I will help make or find you great Halloween costumes. I will take you trick-or-treating every year, until you're too old, and I'm thinking that is around 12, OK?  When it's cold I will layer you up nice and warm, and when we get home I will make you hot coco. I want to be a home mother for your classes so I can know whats going on in school, but don't worry I will try not to embarrass you and I will try not to nag you about your assignments. I will go on field trips with your class if you don't mind. I will read with you daily and tell you fun stories. I once won a story-telling contest ya know. I will gladly listen to your hilarious, dramatic, scary, weird, random, happy, magical stories.

I will be happy to have your friends over. I can't wait to meet them. I hope you will be wise in the friends you spend your time with, if not, we'll have to have a chat, huh? Yes!

I will cook yummy things for you. Not just yummy but healthy meals. The whole family will help with meal time. Daddy loves to cook with mommy and you love helping with everything. I will teach you different recipes and how to fold napkins and how to set the table correctly. Daddy and I will teach you proper etiquette.

We will clean together, and enjoy it. We will love making our beds, and cleaning up our messes right after they happen. Cleaning will be your hobby that you love, like your Grandma Kitto does. (Its OK if you don't like cleaning that much because your momma didn't love it too much until she got a bit older, but I am praying you will love it one day.) Cleanliness is next to Godliness. We will decorate your bedrooms to help reflect who you are on the inside. You will love your home because we will keep the spirit there.

 I will be your number one fan at all your games, recitals, and performances. You are amazing! You have such wonderful talents that Heavenly Father blessed you with, and I hope you will always increase and strengthen those talents.

I will make time for you. You are important to me.

My greatest mission and greatest joy is being your mother.
