One of those moments.

May 31, 2013 by Stacey 40 Comments

abby-closeup-faceRecently I was ferreting around under the sink for something I couldn’t find. I was hungry, and a bit annoyed. Nothing in particular, just one of those days.

Then everything fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor.

“Bugger”, I said absentmindedly.

“Mum!” said Abby. “You orright?”

Oh man. The cute. “Yes, Abby”, I say. “I’m orright”.

“need cuddoo?”

“Yes thank you Abby, I’d love a cuddle”.

“Iss ok mum”, she says, patting my back.

This kid… she’s learning empathy. And being kind to others.

Safe to say I forgot to be annoyed after that.

    She’s beautiful Stacey – big gorgeous brown eyes like my Mia:) I love those moments when everything else is stripped away – the million things that are going on in your head in the same second – and it’s still and meaningful and sigh-worthy xox

    hey, what a nice human you are growing there! Also, your girl and my girl will never be allowed in the same room together. People will die of the eyelashes. :)sarah

    And then they start doing it in Japanese and you suddenly realise just how grown up they’re becoming… The heart-swelling pride suddenly gets mixed with heart-squeezing disbelief at how big your babies are.

    I love that you are recording these lovely little conversations, my 2 year old is an Abby too! Her favourite line is ‘getting better Mummy’ often accompanied by a kiss wherever I’ve bumped myself.
    Lovely little people 🙂
