When I took Annie to dance tonight we got there a little early. I told her she got to talk with me for seven minutes! She was all Yhea right, but then she stayed. And we talked. And it just made my heart full and joyful on a day that had some definite down points.
We discussed the latest topics in seventeen magazine since she has started reading it in the school library. She was shocked to find out that I actually used to read seventeen, but not when I was 12. I also shared some information about an upcoming event at school that I told her she could not tell anyone about yet. When I told her I recognized the mix of fear and excitement in her eyes. The uncertainty of this experience for the first time obviously made her nervous. And that makes me glad.
We shared a lot in seven minutes. I just love my sweet girl so much. I love watching her grow and grow up. While I would love to go back and hold her in my lap and know that she would fit again, I will take these precious, sweet moments. I look forward to many more.
