My heart skips a beat as I remember holding her for this moment.
Little vintage dress on that Minerva had given me long ago...
curls pinned back with a vintage clip.
And her momma shares Nolaisms with me quite often...
I love those moments also as my heart skips to the sound of her voice...
"oh phew, another skunk farted"
"and skunks don't have hands, they are not humans, they can't read magazines"
"you can't see after the sun goes down, when it's dark. But on Halloween, you can't see until it's dark. If it's light out then you can't see on Halloween when you go trick or treating."
"can my cousins come to the Arli-Dazzle parade this time" (she remembers??)
"Jordyn is my friend"
"mom, I told you not to pick me up, I am staying here"
"sugar makes your tummy do bad things, it is not good for little girls or you"
"first we will go for a walk, then you will get ready for bed, then you will get a rubsage"
and so it goes...
the beautiful words of little ones
reminding you that your heart is where it belongs
