Last night I was trying to nurse her to sleep and started singing a slow song. She started to bob her head like she was dancing. While nursing. I started cracking up and had to stop singing. Bedtime is still mostly a long, drawn out struggle. It wears on me.
Yesterday Scott texted me this: We heard my phone beep for your text & I said "must be mommy." she goes "mommy, muah. Mommy, muah. Hi mommy. Hi mommy." and she waved while saying hi.
She drives us crazy and thrills us all at once. Some recent photos:
She LOVES the iPad and has caught on how to use it really quickly. She is precise with her touches, and she knows that the home button will bring her out of whatever she doesn't want to be in anymore (she likes to hit it while I'm trying to play on the iPad too. :P) She knows how to page through to her "games" and knows how to play them with little help from us. It's kind of crazy to me!
Her favorite toy is still Toby, though. :)

Okay, so I just typed up about 3 long paragraphs and it went out into oblivion when I hit "preview" so you get the abbreviated version. She is sooooo much like you at this age. You were so exuberant and innocent and happy. School children and their cruel remarks made you scared and insecure. I often wonder what you would have been like if no one had said mean things to you and hurt your feelings. Right now, you are loosing sleep because she doesn't want to, but when she goes to school you will loose sleep because you will be worrying instead of sleeping. Isn't it nice to know she is safe at home with Scott and that the only ones who talk to her now are people who love her. God bless her sweetness and innocence. Now you can understand why I never wanted my children to grow up and why I may have seemed over protective. I was only protecting that innocence a little longer.
