I've decided that I have to start documenting some of my conversations with Naomi (and Olivia as they progress) because they've gotten quite cute - sometimes funny and sometimes they just bring a little happy tear to my eye.
This morning, while playing "nap" and calling them my babies...
Naomi: Yeah, we're the baby birds and your the momma bird. (This is a reference to my bird nest necklace that I've explained to Naomi before.)
Me: That's right sweetie. You know our little baby birds out front, they've grown up and flown away from the nest. Someday you will grow up and fly away too.
Naomi: You'll have to hold my hand when I fly Mommy.
Me: You bet sweetie! I will definitely hold your hand when you fly.
Naomi: And Daddy too.
Me: Of course, Daddy and I will both hold your hand when you fly.
And, cue happy little tear. She doesn't have the perspective that I have or understand the symbolism of this conversation yet. But that is my hope - that she lets me hold her hand a little as she learns to fly and that our nest is a warm, happy place to land when she flies off on her own.
I love you Naomi!
