Getting to know each other
She knows I must have my coffee in the morning, and she needs her cereal. We sit across from each other at the kitchen table before anyone else is up, fairly quiet, as I read the paper and she eats and draws with crayons. These are peaceful moments. The rest of the day is fairly active as Tara chases the cat and then squeals with a mixture of fear and excitement when he turns around to look at her. She's a rascal; she teases Austin by throwing something at him and then running away. She's a shy little girl; her dad looks so big to her.
She eats yogurt gracefully with a spoon; she gobbles up macaroni and cheese with her fingers and laughs when I ask her where her spoon is. She smiles and giggles when her grandma, aunt, uncle and cousin visit with brownies; she fights the nap afterward. We think she likes her new room, her new family, her new friends.
She likes smiley-face stickers, too.
Posted to Tara's Story
Yay!! I'm glad the blog is going to continue! Wish I had a picture of Baby Ben (Heidi's baby) to put up with Tara's pics. Tara had lunch with him on Friday. (Oh, the moms were there, too. Not me though, at a meeting. I just heard how cool it all was.) He (Baby Ben) is such a cute Butterball of LOVE! He has that Baby Head Smell that's so intoxicating. I haven't smelled it since I last smelled Tara's head. It's the best perfume in the world!!!!
Heidi & I had a fantastic visit. There was one tense moment though when she said to me, "Yeah, and that's why you don't have any friends!" And I said, "Yeah, but I have the Blog People!!!!" Karen, save me a seat at that 12 Step Meeting...
