If I don't write these things down, there is no way my feeble mind will be able to recall them at a later date. And I know I will want to be able to.
While biking in Jamaica, Nora whined "Dad! It's hot! My wegs (legs) need water!"
While visiting the Abe Lincoln Museum, we picked up a pink Civil War infantry cap for her to wear. Because, she insisted. So the other day I catch a glimpse of her in panties and cap only, rounding the corner, singing to herself.
The other night we're all 5 snuggled up on the couch, watching a movie. She leans in and whispers to me "Mom, I gotta tell you a secret. I wuv you." I squeeze her and smile. She goes over to hubs and again, leans in close for the secret telling. "Dad, I gotta tell you a secret. I wuv candy!" My girl.
Today she and I were milling around the driveway, waiting for the bus to bring home D and Gogo. She insisted upon checking the mailbox and just as she got there, a lawn truck rumbled by. I yelled for her to stay on the side of the road. The truck passes without incident and she says to me "See Mom! I told you! No cars runned me over today!"
Also while we're waiting for the big yellow ride, we spy a wasp in the grass. I tell her to watch out for those guys, as they can sting. Her eyes widen. "They can STING me?? WHY?!?! I am a nice person!"
Today was the first day of school for D and Gogo. WWP starts next Tuesday. It was weird to not have them with me today as we ran errands and played at home. I missed them. No surprise this morning-D and Mommy didn't want to get up and Gogo was up on the first call. It seems both had a good first day-nothing too exciting and nothing negative. They both made a new friend or two.
And that is about all you can ask for, any day.
