1. "it's okay" - this strikes fear in my heart at times because she says this when something bad happens. It's the response she's wanting to hear me say. It usually means I need to go clean up something like spilled milk. When I know it was purely an accident on her part, I do usually repeat back the two words she's longing to hear.
2. "I need a hug" - I prayed while pregnant with Nadia that she would be an affectionate, cuddly sort of child. The Lord answered my prayers! I honestly forgot to pray about that while I was pregnant with Ian, but from what I can tell thus far, he also is going to be a child who can't get enough snuggles. I love that they both love to cuddle and be hugged!
Daddy left last night. We survived day one without him. If everything goes as planned we'll have at least one person spend at least a little bit of time with us every day over the next seven days. I think the diversion of grandparents and such will be a big blessing as Nadia definitely misses Daddy. Many times today she asked for him - she said she needed a hug from Daddy, she wanted to show Daddy what she called her "big poop" after she used the potty (I am thinking he doesn't mind that he missed out on that, LOL), etc. I found myself getting rather emotional every time I thought of going 8 days without seeing him. Hopefully the company will be a distraction for me too, LOL! I think I did pretty well today considering I was a single parent for the day. In addition to watching the kids I listed 3 items on eBay, shopped at the grocery store and CVS, and made a batch of blueberry muffins.
