Finally...going to bed one night last week, Maisy asked if not wanting someone to leave meant that you loved them. I said yes. She said, "Then I love you." I was so happy. I danced my way down the hall that night, and did a little jig in my bedroom. Jeremy was not amused, as he is still waiting to be loved again.
I am still struggling to understand this ever aware mind of my daughter, but am trying really hard to focus on all the loving, kind things she does. I have been so hyper-sensitive to the other things, that I was overlooking the sweet things she does all the time. She is the first one to help Knox with anything. She always wants him to play with her. She constantly runs to Carson's beck and call, even if he has been terrible to her. She cries every time I leave, which is not often anymore, but none-the-less, she doesn't like being left behind. She is always helpful and loves to be involved in any activity. She is a wonderful little girl, just way to focused on growing up and figuring the world out.
If only I could make her understand how hard it is to be grown-up. Enjoy it sweet Princess...laundry, bills, discipline, responsibility, working-out because you have to, eating what you should-not what you want...it can all wait.
