I don't begrudge parents for getting annoyed about playing with their kids or reading them a store JUST. ONE. MORE. TIME! but coming from the place that I am--where I have spent six months wishing I could have done that JUST. ONE. MORE. TIME!, I am trying to soak up every moment. Well, except when she twirls around and hits me as hard as she can on the ass and laughs.
Tonight she found her bin of books.
A: Will you read me a story?
Me: Sure.
A: ::gets book::
Me: ::reads book::
A: Will you read another one?
Me: Sure.
A: ::gets book::
Me: ::reads book::
A: Um, will you read another book?
Me: Yeah.
A: ::gets book::
Me: ::reads book::
A: *puppy dog eyes* So, do you want to read another one?
Me: Sure.
A: ::gets book::
Me: ::reads book::
A: Okay, will you read just ONE more?
Me: ::laughs:: Of course.
I know she kept waiting for me to say "Only. One. MORE!" but I didn't. I just smiled, held her, and read.
I soaked up the memories.
While I can.
