It's nice that I heard this a number of times today from Ama. It's really nice to hear. It feels good to hear that from her knowing that it's not just because we went to the Wunderland Arcade. It's not the best day ever just because she got an ice cream cone...or because we sat by the river and fed the geese...or cause she got hand fulls of coins to spend...or a shrimp enchilada....or walked to the park....or played in the hailpocalypse...or because we got an inside tip on how to win 100 more tickets in a few minutes to win the purple princess purse.
It's not really any of that.
It's how I gave her the option for another handfull of nickels or watching the budget movie....It was playing air hockey with her, and not letting her win...throwing rocks into the river with her....pushing her on the swing.....teaching her about trust by not changing the route to the park that i planned....helping her out of the tree when she was "stuck"....listening to her story....reading to her....saying no to the toy even thru tears....asking about her lego creations....telling her a silly secret.
I'm glad she is happy again!
*love*
