So much for the writing...it's gone by the wayside as a lot of things have these past few years. Reading? What's that? Children's books though, that's another story. And I wouldn't change a thing.
So I never forget the look on my little girl, in two weeks she will be four, as she watches Peter Rabbit. As Peter is crying, because he got caught in Mr. McGregor's shed, and really misses his mommy, I catch Julia's eyes welling up with tears. I ask her to come to me: she wraps herself around me, and I ask her to tell me why the tears. She shares with me..I understand Peter Rabbit, I feel so sad for him. So sad that he misses his mommy....
KAPOW!!!
There comes the working mama's guilt. So I did all I could to to reassure her that even when I wasn't right next to her, I would always be with her. And when she misses me, to look at my picture. She adds, and I should kiss my finger, like Tiana does, to your face? And I said yes, and she says she wants to practice. So I walk her over to my picture, and she says, No Mommy, I don't miss you now!!! I miss Daddy now!! So we give Daddy a little kiss, and off we went to bed.
This little girl, with her super sensitive care for the world, her pure and innocent worship....it's something I hope stays with her forever. To my sweet little angel...I love you to the moon and back. I am going to miss this little three year old mind, when she changes into the four year old next week.
