Get Ready to Cry

May 1, 2008 By Melanie Edwards 5 Comments

Or not.

It might just be me. 😉

But, here’s the story…

On Friday, I had my wisdom teeth pulled.

All four of them.

As I came home all high from the anesthesia, for whatever reason, I was crying.

It was that involuntary type of crying.

So my daughter, the cute lil thing she is, grabs some tissues from the bathroom, jumps up on the bed, and wipes the tears from my face.

But, wait, it doesn’t end there!

She then goes and gets me one of her books…and a teddy bear…you know, to make me feel better.

All together now…..

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

And then…(what, there’s more????)

Yes, more! lol

My husband tells her that mami is going to rest and sleep because she has an owie and she proceeds to…

What? What can top all that?

She sings me a lullaby!!!!

Yes, my two year old baby girl sings me a lullaby so that I can go to sleep and get some rest!!!

Of course at that point, my involuntary crying, became true crying.

I know, I know…she’s adorable and the sweetest thing on this Earth. 😉

I warned you to get ready to cry!

Loved it? Share!

    This is why I don’t think where mom works (or doesn’t) is as big a factor in kids’ happiness as we think. Somehow our favorite blogging mami has raised a kind, sensitive, creative human being all while working *gasp!* outside of the home!

    Your girl is such an angel. Congrats to you (and the hubby!)
