The moment you love, you really are opening yourself to the possibility of being hurt and being broken hearted. No matter what type of love and whatever relationship you have. Yes, it definitely includes friendship.
It hurts. A lot. You go about your day(s) carting around the hurt. But still, I choose to love.
Because having had known love, I know that loving and forgiving is the better (and best!) option.
Hubs and I were admiring Yui as she was also beaming at us.
M: I love her lower lip.
A: I love her upper lip.
M: honto? But she got it from me. It’s similar to mine.
A: I know. I’ve known that the first time I saw her. That’s why I love it.
Happy. Thankful.
The materials. Check.
Her table wares. Check.
The baby in her (oversized) cover-all bib. Check.
Moirraine was more than ready to get started on solids. Everything that the book said were signs that your baby is ready (stable neck, able to sit, reduced drooling, increased appetite, keen interest in the food the adults partake, chewing motion, increase in weight) Moirraine had exhibited weeks ago. Hence when we finally introduced her first solids – rice cereal – this morning, Moirraine was almost like a pro. I readied myself for some head turning or a stubbornly closed mouth. We had an eager mouth instead. Yey!
While Dad gets a haircut, Mom shops around with the baby on a carry.
We were playing and cuddling and I just happen to look at the clock. With a start, I realise it’s time for your milk again when I felt like it was just minutes ago when you last had your milk. Time flies really fast baby. Tomorrow you’ll have your first solids. Soon you’ll go to day care. Before Mom knows it, you’ll have your first boyfriend already! Time flies really fast. Grow up well, honey. And Mom and Dad hope you’ll grow up with a kind heart.
‘Tis the third day yet her BCG twice-stamped skin is still swollen. 🙁 The mark of 18 (!!) needles. 🙁 All other vaccinations were on her thighs and only single needle at that save for BCG that has to be on the left arm and stamped. Supposedly this is to avoid keloid formation/scarring of the injection site. Hopefully it really doesn’t leave her a lifetime mark like the ones I and my brothers have.
This by the way is the stamp. From Wikipedia.
