Today Camilla was sitting watching Mr. Dressup with half a bagel and some chocolate chips on a plate. I was in the office with the baby and she came in to ask for more "ta-ta cheeps". She bent her little legs, tilted her head to the side and wiggled her little bum, asking in the sweetest little girl voice she could muster up, with a slight pout to her bottom lip. It brought the hugest smile to my face and pretty much made my day. She looked too cute to say no to.
I put another small hand full on her plate and she grinned up at me. Unlike a bowl, plates don't respond well to tipping and there went all the "ta-ta cheeps".
Instead of getting mad, she sat on the floor to clean them up. Every chocolate chip she picked up went right to her mouth, followed by a "mmmmm". It was pretty funny! It is these small moments of joy that keep me going! Camilla has become slightly more difficult, especially when I'm nursing (because she knows I can't do anything about it). She still has more sweet little girl moments than monster moments though and she brings me so much joy! We managed to make chocolate chip cookies today and we are now going to enjoy some hot out of the oven!
Happy Friday!
