I don't know if Alyssa noticed I was a little edgy this morning or what.
When we were in the car this morning, I had my eyes closed.
She took both my hands and hugged them tight. She then patted my hands while still hugging them....And she gave each hand a gentle kiss. Then she gave me a smile. It wasn't a cheeky smile or anything. It looked surprisingly mature. It seemed to be a "I know Mama. I know. But you can do it!" type of smile. A simple but emphathetic and encouraging smile.
She also gave me a bright smile and a "I love you Mama!" when I left the car to bring Nadya to school....
I was touched this morning and my heart, it melted...:)
Thank you my darling baby, Mama needed that. I love you too. Very much.
Though younger and more lacking in vocabulary, Alyssa seems to posses more empathy and awareness of emotions...And it is times like these when I feel, somehow amidst all the fumbles and uncertainties of parenting, we must have done something right.
