My little Alexis is getting so big now. I’m reminded of it every day in different ways. Tonight she fell asleep watching something on Noggin in the living room. I went to pick her up to take her to bed. I bent over and lifted dead weight from the couch. I had a hot, searing pain go through my shoulder - again. She’s just getting too big to pick up anymore. But, I love picking her up because she wraps her arms tightly around my neck and her legs grip firmly around my waste. Then she lays her head on my shoulder. God it reminds me of when she was a baby so much.
As I took her to her bed and laid her on it, she said, with her eyes closed, “I love you, Mommy.”
Made my heart melt. Aw heck, I guess I’ll just have to put up with whatever pains it gives me to pick her up.
For a little while longer.
I love this blog….you are such a good mama Tiff.
