There are days where I wonder if all Elise hears me say is "No, not right now, hold on a second, Stop doing that, etc..." in spite of me trying hard to focus on her individual needs/wants as much as I can.
A heart-warming moment hit twice yesterday while singing "Old McDonald..." with her. That's the song we sing before/during/after naptimes almost daily. After covering the basic animals of cow, piggy, sheep, rooster, etc...
elise said "on his farm he had a MOMMY" and then she giggled.
it was cute. and a first time for mommy on the farm.
So I kept going, "..>EIEIO...with a ummm? "What does a mommy say, elise?"
"Mommy says, 'I love you' " (!!!!)
Awwww. As my eyes got a little foggy, I kept going.
"...with I love you here, I love you there, here I love you, there I love you, everywhere I love you. Old McDonald had a farm, EIEIO"
That happened twice yesterday...and both times I was in awe. I guess it's moments like that will keep me going on days when I have no patience, little sleep, and no desire to sing yet ONE MORE verse of "Old McDonald"!
