affection

Wednesday, August 10, 2011

my rough and tumble daughter has been showing lots of affection recently, and it melts my heart.



not that she is not an affectionate child, but let's be honest- she IS equal parts sweet AND mischievous. so when her sweet tender heart shines through, it melts this mama's heart.

like today-- she affectionately cried for jonah when he went to his Prep-K "round-up". like last year, it's hard on her little heart to see him off on to new adventures (without her). With jonah starting "big school" this year, i have somehow overlooked the fact that she is starting PRE-SCHOOL in a few weeks. where does the time go?



A sweet moment yesterday where she cuddled up in my arms as we were watching pete's dragon.



She is always showing affection to her two favorite items: her thumb and dee-dee.



and of course don't forget her favorite foods!! here she is showing affection by snuggling with her "sticky cheerios" at Sam's Club. (haaaa!).



But don't worry, she still my silly girl who flashes her goofy grins....



but just with a bit more affection these days.

i just think she's adorable...smiling, snuggling, or sticking out her tongue :)

Ok, I totally laughed out loud when I got to that last one. Especially after reading all the others. Great story today!

What a sweet post and I think I saw the book Corduroy there in your post. That was my favorite book when I was little and I love reading it to my kids now. Also loved the "sticky cheerios" comment!haha
