TEARY EYE

Dear Abby,

Our day started very early, a little too early since you were out on the town last night at Ms. Jeanette's and didn't go to bed until 9:00. Dada and I hardly knew what to do with ourselves since you had already left when we got home from work. You woke up happy this morning and ready for the day. We visited a friend who recently had surgery, Mimi went with us so at least she was able to visit while I chased you around their house. We ran by the post office before heading home for lunch and you DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. You screamed and kicked as I put you in your car seat. Was the P.O. that exciting? Was it seeing Blue Monster and talking to him? Was it having the local attorney tell you your pretty? HMMM? Once we got home you threw yourself on the floor and you were kicking your arms and legs and screaming at the top of your lungs. As I was making your P.B. & J in the kitchen you were in hysterics on the living room floor. I couldn't help but giggle to myself, because I knew this day was coming sooner or later and here it was, plain as day. This my precious girl is your first real TEMPER TANTRUM! I think that's pretty good since you are 18 months and one week! You never cry, ever so today was a rarity! We ate lunch and even through that there were a few sniffles here and there. Thank goodness your heart balloon still has helium from V-day. You held that with one hand and ate your sandwich with the other. The balloon saved the day!! :) You were just exhausted Abby girl. You took a wonderful nap this afternoon and were a true delight tonight.

I love you so much,
Mama
