The child hides behind the couch and peeks around the corner in an effort to catch a glimpse of her sister the "seeker." As she peers around the room she holds back a giggle, and hides her smile behind her open palmed hand. She verbalizes her need for her sister to "come and find me!"
The infant with legs spread widely apart toddles to and fro. She is frantically looking for her "Ibee." When she finally spots her sister and friend, her eyes turn into large dark saucers, and she begins laughing with joy. She quickly begins moving faster and faster, carefully steadying her balance with two outstretched arms.
The child and infant joyfully clap their hands and giddily giggle. Their game has ended and they are united in happiness.
They are sisters.
I pause for an instant in time and choose to create a memory.
My two girls, my Little Women, simple joy, innocent pleasure, a tender moment to be remembered always.
So sweet! Don't you love your little ones? It makes all the crying worth while.
ReplyDeleteI love your girls...mine too! Thanks for dinner last night I am feeling much better today. Are you feeling any better?
ReplyDeleteHey, I gave you an award... go get it from my blog!
ReplyDeleteWow, this brought tears to my eyers. Granted I am pregnant and hormonal, but it is so awesome just the same. If only we could all stay as innocent as children and find joy in the simplest things.
ReplyDeleteLove the Little Women - and their MOM!
