I used to ride with my dad in the potato truck and we would listen to Paul Harvey 's "The Rest of the Story." I miss those long summer days, my dad, and Paul Harvey; but now you may hear the rest of OUR story! ..."Good Day"

Really confused...

I'm not sure how to even go about this post. I feel almost uncomfortable talking about it, but on the other hand it is sorta funny.


So today after speech therapy, I was buckling Abby up in her car seat. As usual I lean in and give her a big fat smooch (can't help myself!). What does she do? She terry's me! Yep that's right. Not only did she block my kiss (I can handle a mere block), but she acutally pushed me away with her hands. Her face had a "Are you kidding me!" expression.

My first response was a laugh, because her expression was so good, and then I kissed her anyway. On driving home, I started thinking to myself. That expression looked awfully familiar, too familiar, infact. It is one of my expressions. Her expression looked just as practiced as mine is. I also thought, I have wanted and waited to have her for so long, that she better let me give her a smooch. I always thought I would be a "cool" mom. Not the "my mom is my best friend mom", but somewhere in between. The more Abby grows up, the more I realize that may not be the case. So I guess I should get all the loving in before she perfects her technique. (ha ha ha)

I am posting a picture of her today. I wish I had a picture of the face she pulled today. However, this one is priceless too. She is saying Mama in sign... looking at this picture just melts my heart. I think she needs another kiss :)...

It is such a surreal moment when they do something the way you do. It scares me when McKay does this! It's funny you post this too about her blocking your kiss because lately I have had the same thing. McKay used to wake up every morning, hug me, then kiss me! Not the case anymore...he will still hug, but he is a lot more reserved with those kisses, the stinker!

The sad thing is, they say that the 3s are sometimes more terrible than the 2s....I AM SO SCREWED! hehe!
