Stories
Conversation from today:
“Sam, I want you to take this towel and wipe up the mess [water] on the floor, please.”
“But Mommy, I was having so much fun making a mess!”
I couldn’t help it. I started laughing so hard. I eventually was able to stop laughing and told her she still had to wipe up the floor, which she did. I am not sure what the kitty shelf looks like, haven’t dared to look yet.
Later, she came in with a wet cotton ball and said, “Mommy, I have something for your boo-boo!” I lift my sleeve and she, with exquisite care, puts the cool cotton ball on my rather nasty bruise from walking into a purse hook on the back of a bathroom stall. She was so gentle. I also got several ‘I love you” kisses. She will be an excellent nurse and an even better doctor if they ever start placing value on bedside manner.
I’ve got a couple of stories that Sam is fascinated with right now.
“Misty Pearly Dawn
One morning, Mommy and Daddy got up very early, when it was still dark out. Daddy took Mommy and a suitcase downstairs and got us in the car. We drove through the misty, pearly dawn to get to the hospital. The nurses dressed mommy in a silly gown that was closed in the front and open in the back. They put me in a special room and took you out of my tummy. Daddy was the very first person to see you, and he thought you were very beautiful. The nurse cleaned you up, and gave you a bath while the doctors cleaned mommy up, and then I got to see you. You were the most beautiful sight in the world, even better than the misty pearly dawn. Neither of us wanted you out of our sight, and the nurses kept teasing daddy because he would go down and take you out of their nursery. We just wanted to look at you and hold you all the time because you were so beautiful and we had waited so long for our special little girl.”
“Star
In March 2001, mommy and daddy went out into the night and looked up at the sky. There are billions and billions and billions of stars in the sky. We looked, and looked, and looked, and looked some more. Finally, out of all those billions of stars, we saw the perfect star that we thought would be just right for our family. So we asked the star, “Would you like to come and live with our family?” And the star said, “yes.” It leapt from the sky, flew all the way down to earth and went into mommy’s tummy where it stayed for nine months, turning from a star into a baby. And when you came out, we knew we had picked just the right star.”
