Yesterday, I talked about this problem with Jer.
But as I continued to awaken, I made decisions to do better.
It was little things. Remember patience and lightheartedness when it comes to my little girl. Do my hair and put clothes on as if I were going somewhere. You know, just little things. Little things add up to lots of good, I think.
And by mid-morning, we were all in the car headed to do whatever I/we felt like doing. That translated into feeling the warm wind on our faces as we slowly made our way into the car. It's the first really warm day since fall, and it was glorious. It's amazing how my mood elevates in warmer weather.
We spent a lazy time at Target just looking at toys and cameras (little girl broke ours the other day, so it's time for a new one). She pushed a little play shopping cart and followed me around the store. She saw a family - a little boy in the cart and a little girl walking (she was about 4ish). Ava said about the boy, "He wants me!" She went over and became part of the family. She was in love with the girl especially. They turned a different way, so I said (cheerfully), "Ok, say goodbye now!" She said, "Ok, bye mama!" And she followed them. So, I let her. Maybe the mom thought it was weird. But whatever. I love that my baby is so friendly! I don't want to squelch that in her.
And then, time to go. There was more taking our time in the parking lot, enjoying the breeze. Baby E was taking those deep breaths babies do when there's wind, his eyes getting all red-rimmed.
And now, home. Naps. Internet browsing...
My soap dispenser is too tall downstairs, and the medicine cabinet is always knocking off the pedestal sink onto the floor.
Maybe a wall-mount?
