She drives me crazy....


Yes, she does....admittedly it's not a long trip to crazy for me, but this little 3.5 year old girl is most effective at pushing my buttons until I wish for a nice quiet room with quilted walls and a jacket that fits snugly and keeps my hands, effectively, pinned behind my back....and a few moments of perhaps drug induced silence....


There isn't much I wouldn't do for her.  She's funny, bright, goofy and even smart (though one might argue that's not the case since when asked her age she will say "big" as if "big" were an age).  She makes every day brighter in so many ways, and as for my son, I truly would die to keep her safe and sound and happy.

So some day she will blame me for everything that's odd, strange or different about her. Whatever it is that makes her stand out or stick out.  From my own experience, I know she will definitely weep and tell me she hates me.  One day she will realize that she loves me and no matter what I will always know I love her.  Seeing her grow and become the girl and some day woman she's meant to be absolutely makes me crazy and makes me melancholy and sad too.  Makes me miss my own mother which leads me to pray that I am here longer than she was.

i laughed out loud when i saw that picture of your little missy. lol. but i think she will do all the things that you said she might and more. i remember times when i was really angry with my mother for doing the things she did to me, but i appreciate it all the more now that i'm all grown up and can see the adult world a little more clearly. so, i think that's why my mom and i connect better now :)
