Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 8/18/03 "Fill 'er Up, Please" I was nursing the baby, and as Ananda would have preferred in that moment to be the one in her mother's arms, she was grumpy. "You'd like some attention too, huh?" I asked. She said "Yaah" in kind of a rowdy manner and then jumped over and landed beside us, bumping us. "Look at me," I said, firmly but lovingly, reaching for her face with my one free hand. I had her chin, but her eyes were avoiding mine and she was still squirming and fidgeting about. "You said you wanted attention? Well, I have some *right here* to give you and you're not taking it. You have to give me attention too, if you want some." Then she looked at me and our eyes locked solid. "It will fill you right up if you let it," I said. Then she started to giggle, keeping her eyes fixed to mine. "Fill me up with what?" she asked playfully. "Snacks? Polka dots? Dinosauws?" She was wiggling with joy now. "Polka dots?!" I exclaimed in surprise. "Where the heck did you get THAT?" We were laughing hard together and Zack was too. "What are you full of now?" I asked. "LOVE!" she cried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
