These Hands...

~These hands...are so sweet and gentle.
~These hands...are soft and I love to hold them when I nurse you to sleep at night.
~These hands...are so curious and love to grab things and reach for things far away.
~These hands...love to grab noses.
~These hands...gave me a bloody nose last week because they grab noses a little too hard.
~These hands...get so messy and sticky when you eat.
~These hands...wave hello and goodbye to strangers which shows your sweet spirit.
~These hands...flap up and down when you are happy and excited.
~These hands...are constantly in your teething mouth.
~These hands...hate to be wiped off after your meals.
~These hands...contain the sharpest little fingernails I could ever imagine.
~These hands...like to touch your ear and stroke your hair when you are sleepy and about to fall asleep.
~These hands...were first seen by us when you were a tiny baby in my stomach and you always had one by your face.
~These hands...like to play and pull my hair.
~These hands...allow you to explore and play with things around you.
~These hands...now like to pull you up on things.
~These hands...will learn to be folded in prayer throughout your life.
~These hands...I love so very much.
~These hands...will one day grow to be bigger than mine...
