Our daugther Ariana moved from baby to toddler with her share of the usual bumps and scraped knees.On theses occasions,I'd hold out my arms and say, "Come see me." She'd crawl into my lap,we'd cuddle, and I'd say "Are you my girl?" Between tears she'd nod her head yes.Then I'd say, "My sweetie,beetie Ariana girl?" She'd nod her head, this time with a smile.And I'd end up with, "And I love you forever, for always and no matter what!" With a giggle and a hug, she was off and ready for her next challenge.
Ariana is now four-and-a-half. We've continued "come see me" time for scraped knees and bruised feelings,for "good mornings" and good nights."
A few weeks ago, I had "one of those days." I was tired, cranky and overextended taking care of a four-year-old, twin teenage boys and as home business.Each phone call or knock at the door brought another full day's worth of work that needed to be done immediate;y! I reached my breaking point in the afternoon and went into my room for a good cry.
Ariana soon came to my side and said, "Come see me." She curled up beside me, put her sweet little hands on my damp cheeks, and said "Are you my mommy?" between my tears I nodded my head and smiles."My sweetie, beetie.mommy" I nodded my head and smiled. "And I love you forever, for alway and no matter what!' A giggle, a big hug, and I was off and ready for my next challenge.
