I know, I know – I said I wasn’t coming back till after Christmas. But I just had to share.
We’re in the kitchen. Joe is holding Sophie, who is all dressed in her coat to head out to the store with me to pick up a couple of last-minute groceries. I’m putting on my coat.
Me: Sophie, are you ready to go to the store with Mama?
Sophie: Ma ma. Mama!
I looked at Joe. I started crying. Joe looked at me. I grab Sophie and give her a huge squeeze. I wipe the tears from my eyes and ask Joe if it really happened and he said yes. Sophie’s first words, and they are mine. Talk about a Christmas present!
Priceless!! Have a Merry Christmas!
Wonderful!!! Much better than my daughter’s first sentence, which was “No, no Momma, don’t!” (She didn’t want me to help her on the stairs. She still is an independent and determined child at 9 years old.)
YEAH SOPHIE! What a wonderful gift for your MAMA!!!
!
That makes me tear up as well – what a lovely lovely gift!!! I love reading your blog – you write so wonderfully well about life, the unverse, knitting, and everything
