A morning with Annie...

This morning Annie surprised me by putting together some phrases (two word phrases are a nice milestone at this age) and while washing her hands she said "mommy pee in the potty and daddy at work" (that makes me sound pretty productive eh?). After that we were sitting on the floor getting our shoes on and Annie really HUGGED me for the first time...she hugs of course, she'll lay her head on my shoulder, or cuddle briefly, but this was an all out arms around the neck, squeezing and lovin' -- all with an "oooh mom"...to go with it while she patted my back. She then pulled away, said "mom" and kissed me. *SIGH* From there we took a walk to the post office to mail a card to our new friend, Sam. (Sam was just born a few days ago, very prematurely, keep him in your prayers!) After the post office, we walked over to the library to read about goldfish. We recently replaced our long string of failing beta fish, with two darling goldfish. It hasn't been 24 hours yet, but Grouper & Gus seem to be getting along quite swimmingly....quite possibly the best $.56 we've spent this week.
