I delight in her delight in everything, and the ole Rudolph song came on the radio, and she starts singing with an innocent glee that I wish could be captured forever (which it has been, in my heart!). I joined in, and she'd also add the bits about "like LINColn", and "like Monopoly" for the history and games parts of the song.<BR/><BR/>I just really reveled in the moment and the beautiful spirit of childhood that she just epitomizes for me, although I need to be wary of not idealizing her or too many expectations, but still, she is just such a beautiful person, and moments like this really are a gift from God, to me.<BR/><BR/>This is when being a mother is the bestest thing in the whole world.Sarebearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208596053319110470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1166574496650466952006-12-19T19:28:00.000-05:002006-12-19T19:28:00.000-05:00True healthpsych, but the shipping costs an arm an...True healthpsych, but the shipping costs an arm and a leg...ClinkShrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316134491751195651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1166560142550093302006-12-19T15:29:00.000-05:002006-12-19T15:29:00.000-05:00Having one's family on the opposite side of the gl...Having one's family on the opposite side of the globe works well and is a little less extreme!HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409589783052980600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1166497243349471632006-12-18T22:00:00.000-05:002006-12-18T22:00:00.000-05:00Hmmm, Roy, do you need guards at your house?Hmmm, Roy, do you need guards at your house?Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-1166414468633900282006-12-17T23:01:00.000-05:002006-12-17T23:01:00.000-05:00Haha....perhaps it needs a slight adjustment to sa...Haha....perhaps it needs a slight adjustment to say "Not murdering ones immediate or extended family."
