They got to me today. See, everyone says to cherish every moment. This blog is my attempt to do that. I don't care if others care about Annabelle's daily activities. I do.
Today, Annabelle had snack time. A sippy full of milk (formula) and graham crackers broken to bits. It's only taken me a week to wean Annabelle to sippy cups (except bedtime, because I'm unwilling). I leaned up to her little face and told her just how proud I am of her, and she leaned forward and rubbed her nose to mine. And I cracked. I had to walk away and look at her from the hallway with tears in my eyes.
Sippy cups and snack time and shoes and standing in her crib. Need I say more. I'm cherishing this moment. Because before long it will be regular cups and eating without my assistance and tying her shoes. I'm even cherishing changing her diaper because before long she won't need me.
And as sweet as she is, I went back in the kitchen for another nose rub, and all I got was a hand in the face.
See, that's why I cherish.
Now you're making ME tear up!
