A Child
Posted on 08.28.08 to Clare, Parenting, Personal by JoanClare and I had our usual morning routine today: wake-up, milk and tv, wash-up, mad dash out of the house. It was like any other day, except that we rode in silence all the way to my in-laws’ house, listening to the rain and the radio in the background. She’s usually singing or babbling, or I would be asking her repeatedly if she loves me (so insecure!).
When we arrived at our destination, my little girl gave me a huge hug, a kiss, said goodbye and promised to be good.
It was nothing very unusual, but definitely a moment I will treasure for a long time. I love sharing the world with my girl, and most of all, feeling her love, watching her behave so wonderfully (instead of whining or ignoring what I say to her).
I seriously can’t imagine what it would be like if I had another kid, because there just doesn’t seem to be enough time with this one.

I believe Clara will understand.
I can understand your feelings. I think having a slibings can keep Clara accompany too. Can think of it. :)

That’s exactly how I feel sometimes, even though I’m a SAHM. Sometimes I get the urge to wake him up when he’s sleeping at night, just so that I can spend more time with him.
24 hrs just doesn’t seem enough.
