Lots of things in the news have made me want to hold my baby closer lately, but there is no point listing them because on any given day, there are at least three news stories that make me choke up and want to run and hug Pumpkin. It is a good thing day care is a 15 minute drive away.
I have seriously curtailed my at work news checking because of this. However, I usually check in at lunch time, and invariably, something gets me all choked up. I find that thinking about the cute things Pumpkin does and/or looking at the cute pictures I have of her on my desk helps me get past the wave of sappiness. Today, I was thinking about how much she is talking now, and how darned cute some of what she says is. Here are three of my current favorite Pumpkinisms:
1. When I ask her where something is, or when she wants me to put something in a particular spot, she points to the location and says "right yare!" (right there).
2. She doesn't say "yes", she says "yepf".
3. One of her favorite books right now is Knuffle Bunny
These are the sort of things I wish could always remember, but that I'm sure I'm doomed to forget.
So you print out pages of your blog and paste them into her baby book, right?
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about being a sap now and not being able to watch/read news the same.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable Pumpkinism! I was going to post some cute things my girl is saying today, too, but I haven't done it yet. I am also worried I'll forget the little cute things, which is why the blog has been such a blessing to me.
