Heard At Our House This Evening

Thursday, October 22, 2009 (Updated: Saturday, February 25, 2023)

Post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure statement.

Setting the scene: Caroline is eating banana bread for her before bath snack. She goes to get out of her chair and give a bite to Daddy and somehow falls onto the floor, hard.

Caroline (crying hard): I need you, I need you, I need you!




Daddy (consoling): It’s okay. It’s just a little bump.

Caroline: No, it was a BIIIIIIGGGGG bump. Kiss it.

Daddy: Where do you want me to kiss it?

Caroline: ALL OVER!!!

The photo is from August when Caroline was about a month away from her third birthday.  She looks the same except the hair is about two inches longer now.  Where she got the beautiful waves and curls… I have no idea. Just a gift from God.

    Sallie, she is just beautiful! What a precious, precious gift. In many ways I still think of Caroline as a baby/toddler, what a joy to see her coming into girlhood.

    On a completely different note, I jumped over here today for a quick visit because my reader hasn’t shown any new posts from you since your “benefits of being ill” post, and, wow, you’ve been posting and I’ve been missing them. I’m going to unsubscribe then resubscribe and hopefully that will fix the glitch.

    I’ve also had no new posts on the reader : ) Glad I stopped by.

    Caroline is such a lovely little girl! My mother says that these baby waves/curls will disappear once we cut their hair, so I have let Elise’s keep growing. She and Caroline seem like they would enjoy playing together, cutting flowers and having “tea.”
