Monster & I traveled to Vancouver Island this morning to be a part of my darling Squishy's second birthday. I was hesitant to interact too much with the Squishy at first, as I heard she sometimes felt overwhelmed by too much attention. Well, not this weekend. She was glorious! She made us laugh with her goofy, sweet, squishy faces, her knowledge of animal sounds and her ability to repeat everything we said--either immediately or much later.
It is wonderful to see this little girl develop a unique personality and it's fantastic to have more than a transient role in her life. I will be there for her as she leaves toddlerhood, enters her preschool years and then starts school. And so will five other aunts, as we each bring our own perspectives to her life.
I didn't take a picture of the Squashy on my camera, so I don't have one to upload with this post. She was so tiny, so little. And she reminded me of how fast babies grow, as the Squishy was that little in my very recent memory. And now she is walking around, talking and joking with us.
