It's a GOODe Life: Worms

"Mommy, is that your car?"

"Yes, Baby"

"Are you here?"

"Yes, Baby. I'm here."

Welcome to my now regular conversation with my near 3 year old. I think it is finally sinkin' in that Mama now works from home and my Add... well she likes it.

Car in driveway = Mama at home to Miss Add . I do believe the child walks by me 20 times a day to check to see if my car is in the driveway... just to be sure I am not an imaginary friend, I suppose.

Speakin' of "I suppose", that is Miss Add's new phrase. Now Aunt Lou and Auntie Leann would say that is because Miss Add is my "mini-me" and has now picked up on mama's special style of talkin', but I don't know. I suppose that truth be told that might be it ;)

Anyhoo, back to Miss Add's car count... this new obsession over Mommy's car also means that when Mama does have to leave for an appointment or meeting with a client, there is a heightened form of the "Mommy don't go" conversation... you know the one... the one where your heart sinks into your shoes...

I have found that in these situations Miss Add calms down when we talk about our plans for when I return. It gives us something to look forward to and she knows Mama's car will soon be back in the driveway.

Today was no different. I had a meeting with a couple of clients and was headed out the door when that adorable child gave me those puppy dog eyes.

"You can't go to work Mommy," she said with tears welling up.

I then asked her if we could play in her sprinkler when I got home and all of a sudden joy filled those eyes and before long she was rushing me out the door...

So when I got home, we gots to playin' and THIS is the face I got:

Miss Add hearts this little flower dude... BIG TIME.

There were trust issues to begin with though.

But, soon she got over it...

Daddy had to step in and fix things at one point

Our hero!

Truth be told, I think Daddy had some trust issues with the flower dude as well ;P Just sayin'

Before long, things were up and going again.

And, Add began buildin' up her courage...

A little bit

at 

a

time!

Miss Add loves these "worms"... Truth be told, she has a thing for "worms"

She likes her bath with "worms" (shower)

She likes her sketti with "worms"

However, she's not a fan of real worms...Ever heard a 3 year old girl scream... you have been warned.

But sprinkler "worms" make for a GOODe day around here... Just sayin'
