We went to the aquarium a while ago. Recently… I was nervous. I didn’t know what it would be like. I pictured myself missing my husband as Twin B raced ahead with him in tow like last time.
I was so wrong!
This time, I was the object of her affection. Which meant that I’m the one who had to do the zooming ahead. She enjoyed the freedom of going walking fast all over the place. I wanted to see the new fish though so the zooming wasn’t achieving MY goals! She won! Though I did double back a few times with her as you can see. And at other times, they waited for us to come back round.
Seeing her happy made me happy. So, I held her hand and zoomed with her as we raced up the wide passages and down again.
Haha. I got down here. My knees protested painfully, but as I was quickly getting up, she came and unexpectedly sat on me. I fell over. As I laughed-after screaming in shock-husband asked, “ What ARE you doing!?”
I answered as if it was totally normal, “I’m falling!” With a “Duh!” in my head for good measure. 😉
Then there was this day. She was tired but not falling asleep so I went in and applied deep pressure by lying on her. She loved it!
Bad photos but good times!
We are still not really speaking to communicate but there are many words! She looks at us intently and will suddenly blurt out, “ Chicken! Pig! Cow! Bubbles!”
But she’s very clear when she grabs my hand and these days instead of leading me to the cupboard to get food, pulls me to the garage and says, “Car!”❤️❤️
And this morning when her dad was singing “no more wars” she stood in front of him and blurted out, “W-w-double yoo. War!”
I love those moments because what she’s saying matches what she’s thinking or hearing. I told my husband that given she’s so intentional and we get what she’s referring to at these times, then there’s a link with the random words … So, clearly when she says “cow” to me, she’s saying ‘Mom, you’re as fat as a cow.”😉
They said I should write a book
