Cuddle!

After Justin and I had put Eva to bed tonight and Justin had run out to do errands Eva began to cry. I came in to check on her - her baby doll on the floor and Eva trying to crawl out of her crib. She was trying to climb out and saying, "cuddle, cuddle, cuddle. Milk" How could I refuse her? So I took her in my room and we cuddled in the covers :).

We would be quiet for a while and then she would randomly start telling me all the things she was thinking about. She told me how to cross the street when we are out walking, "outside. Jogging - cars - Wait! Cross driveway. Careful! Careful!" Holding her finger up in an authoritative tone. Then she told me about safety in the kitchen. "Hot! No burn my finger. Cooking." Repeating herself several times in different ways. She also told me about how the train downstairs is shared with daddy and it rides on a track, "daddy share train. Railroad. No, no, tracks. Share with Daddy." Make-up application was in the mix and a talk about her getting her boogies out of her nose too. It was so wonderful. She was cuddled close to me and sometimes kept her legs propped up on my legs. Wonderful time!
