What a GREAT baby!

Our daughter Ariana moved from baby to todler with her share of the
usual bumps and scraped knees. On these occasions, I'd hold out my
arms and say
"Come see me."
She'd crawl into my lap, we'd cuddle, and I'd say
"Are you my girl?"
She'd nod her head, this time, with a smile. And I'd end with
"And I love you forever, for always, and no matter what!"
With a giggle and a hug, she was off and ready for her next challenge.
Ariana is now 4 1/2. We've continued "come see me" time for scraped
knees and bruised feelings, for good mornings, and good nights.
A few weeks ago, I had "one of those days". I was tired, cranky, and
overextended taking care of our four year old, twin teenage boys, and
a home business. Each phone call or knock at the door brought
another full day's worth of work that needed to be done immediately!
I reached my breaking point in the afternoon and went into my room
for a good cry.
Ariana soon came to my side and said, "Come see me." She curled up
beside me, put her sweet little hands on my damp cheeks and
said, "Are you my Mommy?"
Between my tears, I nodded my head yes. "My sweetie beetie mommie?"
I nodded my head and smiled. "And I love you forever, for always,
and no matter what!" A giggle, a big hug, and I was off and ready
for my next challenge. Jeanette Lisefski
