The girls have really connected with some neighbor kids these last few days, and I heard G-bear calling one of them "AJ-Mama." It made me start thinking, just how many Mama figures this girl has. That is just one thing about her. She attaches to certain people very strongly, and after that, they are "her's." I started recalling all the people who have been this for her, and thought I would record it here, so we look back and remember. There's AJ, Charlotte, Eva, CC, Annalisse, Lily, Carrie, Wendy, Kelly, Heidi, Edie, Joy (I'm sure there are others I will remember later). What a gift to have all these people who help me give this girl as much love as she needs. She is a very intense little being, and I'm not sure what my life would be like if all of the love she needs came only from me. I imagine that some of you reading this blog would be additional mother figures to her if you lived closer.
Here she is on the train ride, singing the tune
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea with the words:
I really want to see CC
I really need to see CC
If I could just go see CC
I'd be happy to be with CC, see?
so sweet...
