There is no cute photo or video to go along with this post. There are two reasons. First of all, I don't think it would be possible to capture this in either. Secondly, I was just too busy enjoying my baby to bother. Last night I had one of those great moments that I always want to remember but I'm afraid will fade into the ciaos of life. Really, I'm writing this one for Payton, so someday she'll read it and maybe remember when.
Payton is very much into Mommy these days, and maybe it's more of a jealousy thing than anything, but I'll take it. So after I put Parker to bed and curled up on the sofa by myself she just had to be with me. She crawled under my blanket, but apparently that wasn't close enough so she crawled on top of me, giggling like we were on the most exciting roller coaster in the world. That's what I am to her right now, the most exciting ride in the world. We rolled around tickling and playing together without a care in the world. We snuggled and kissed and that all just made us giggle more. She doesn't know that I'm just boring old Mom, instead she thinks I'm cool and she wants to hang out with me! She loves me so completely, and I her. As much as that kid can make me shake with frustration at times, her sweet sweet voice makes me melt, I wish there was a way to capture it all, but there just isn't. She is so stinking wonderful. She loves to snuggle with me and it makes her so happy she can't control the giggles. She sits in my lap and we read all her favorites, she's getting to the point now where she can kind of tell me the story in some of them. She's genuinely hurt when I'm too busy to give her my full attention, and I feel terrible for that. So when I can I must be sure to do it, because I know this isn't gonna last forever and before I blink again she's going to figure out that I'm just Mom, and Saturday nights are not cool when your hanging out at home with mom.
