Slow down Won’t you stay here a minute more I know you want to walk through the door But it’s all too fast Let’s make it last a little while I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly I am your biggest fan I hope you know I am But do you think you can somehow Slow down "Slow Down" by Nichole Nordeman 123.366 A few days before Mommy had to return to work, we took you to Chuck E Cheese's for one last outing. It was probably the last time we'll go there, but I think you're favorite part was running up the skee ball lane. It was probably not my best mom move to take a photo before I stopped you, but looking at the craziness that was happening around us, I don't think anybody thought anything of it.

"There is a garden in her eyes, where roses and white lilies flow." - Thomas Campion 118.366 You have had a great interest in playing with these giant lego blocks, but when you can't put them together correctly, you have a major meltdown. It got to the point where we had to take them away for a while, after which you were very good at putting them together and building things and developed a healthy obsession with them. Here you are, struggling with the blocks in dusty light, your hair in absolute chaos, which really fits your personality at that moment. “In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter, there is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future" song lyrics from The Eyes of a Child by the band Air Supply 106.366 Beautiful Baby Girl, with your deep blue eyes. While Mommy gets your sister dressed, you lie on her bed looking out the window. And once a week we take your photo in that same spot so that after a year we'll see how much you've grown. I can tell you already that it will be bittersweet to look back on this time and remember how very little you were in that moment. 110.366 The weather is warming, and we can go for walks in the cornfield now. Our neighbors over the fence own horses, and you like to go see them on our walks. Daddy holds you, and I think of how strong his hands are around your tiny little body. You two are becoming buddies, you and Daddy. Sometimes you both sit in silence, but you seem to think the same thoughts. |
