the best ones, of course… are her own, long winded stories with arms flailing in the air..shoulders shrugging, and eyes waiting for your response.
we went for a long stroll to the park, the sun shining- but a biting cold in the air. you ran around, woofing at dogs as they passed, waving over the rock walls to the water and ducks paddling by. splashing in puddles before running ahead into the park- to push swings and spin things, and kiss anything that looks friendly…
you’re the sweetest, most gentle, loving little mama i’ve ever seen… approaching everything with an ‘awww’ arms outstretched to pat and rub, lips puckering up for a kiss, arms ready to hold and bounce and cuddle..
you’re so eager to play with other kids, older kids- big kids and small kids.. it doesn’t matter who- you greet them all with a big smile, a loud happy ‘hi!’ and start up conversations in your own little language, with your short arms flying around in the air for extra exaggeration to the story you’re telling.. sometimes you try to lean in close to these big kids, for a hug or a kiss- but we’ve yet to find someone that is equally loving back. you always leave them with blowing a kiss though, and my heart melts. i would love for you to have someone to play with that’s as loving and happy as you.. hopefully one day soon.
later, we walked over to the little grocery on the corner to pick up a few things for dinner… i was wondering what you were doing standing at the vegetables forever, leaning down and laughing.. oh! you spotted yourself in the mirrors..
