So this is probably going to be my most "journal-like" entry. When I started this blog, I told myself that I wanted to do it mainly to record all of the hilarious, the random, and the heart-warming things that my 4 year old says to me so I don't ever forget just how dang precious she is.
Lately, Riley has been going through some separation anxiety. She really struggles every day that she can't come with me to my office or to practice. She wants every bit of my attention at home...just for one day, I want to count how many times she says "hey mom"...."hey mom"...."hey mom"...."hey mom"...I feel so bad when I'm busy because it usually comes out a little exasperated..."what Riley?"...."what Riley?"...."WHAT RILEY??"...then I instantly feel bad when her response is..."I love you".
Just the other day, I was driving her to preschool (another daily struggle), and the conversation was as follows:
R: Hey mom?
M: What Riley?
R: I love you.
M: Well, I love you too.
R: Are you gonna be gone all day?
M: Nope, I will be back to pick u up in a little bit.
R: Well, I will miss you all day. You just make my heart grow so big.
What an incredible kid!! And Riley, you cannot even begin to comprehend how much you've made my heart grow the past 4 1/2 years!
