It’s strange how most of the time you can watch your child’s reactions and fail to recognize them as yours–both the positive and the negative.
Sometimes when Allie smiles, I see myself. Her smile is wide and happy, toothy and beautiful. She’ll flash you her smile for free. Such a generous gift should be treasured.
Allie laughs at stories like I do. If she’s heard the story before and knows that a punchline is hilarious, she starts giggling before the funny part even happens. She’ll laugh even when you’re telling the boring part because she knows what is coming.
If you ask Allie a question that she thinks is a bit stupid (for lack of another word), she give you a snide glare. She glances at you, throws both arms up in disbelief, and shifts her irises to the top left corner of her eyes in a slow but meaningful roll. It’s her two year old way of telling you what’s up.
Allie will tell you a story several times in a row. I do that. If she laughs at a story 10 times in a row, she fails to see why you can not manage to do the same. I feel her on that.
I just can’t get enough of her. She even smells like wonderful– if you could possibly bottle it up. A little bottle of wonderful.
Really, it’s strange how comprehensive the age two can be–a bundle of new emotions and vocabulary. Both are often free flowing with little limitation.
My baby will be three in less than three months. I’m an emulsion of happy and sad. I’m so glad she’s healthy and happy, but have a pensive feeling about the fact that she’s growing up. I can already feel my heart tearing from the day she begins to reject my kisses and goes all angsty teenager on me. (please no black lipstick, please no black lipstick !!*crosses fingers*)
Scorned future kisses or not, I just love her. I couldn’t have ever asked for more.
