We were planting flowers yesterday and all the sudden I feel something just right next to me and it was my Sophie Bug. She had sat down next to me on the sidewalk and then I guess felt as though we were not close enough so she scooted over to where our legs were touching and smooshed together. I am such a touchy feely person so to me, these moments are the best thing ever. I can't have enough of that love from my girl! She then seemed content to just watch me plant my flowers. I had one of those "aha" moments (thanks to Oprah who invented a name for those type of moments) where the world could have stopped and all would have been right. I see her putting her dolls to bed, diapering them, shhing everyone in the room when they are sleeping and I think hmm...we may actually be doing something right here. Isnt that one of the many fears as a parent?? Am I doing something wrong? Am I steering her in the wrong direction? It is just always nice to have those mommy conversations with friends where you know that you aer not the only Mom who has these fears and concerns. "Oh, your child has also started having meltdowns in public places when she doesnt get her way and you don't know how to stop them either?" Good to know. I hate that you are going through that tough time and all but you have just made my day with your story of concern for your own parenting skills!! :) Thanks so much!!
Your daughter is adorable!
