Why this list?
I lived for a lot of little things and even wrote a whole list about it.
Since writing this list, there have been a lot of new little things that have been making me beam with pride and joy. Happiness still comes in little doses. Enjoy them because they grow up so fast.
Things I Love Now
- Her smile so wide she squints
- Her little giggle and squeal
- When she holds my finger with her tiny hands
- Her swaying and bobbing when she hears a song
- Her love of blueberries to the point of stuffing a handful in her mouth until she can barely chew
- When she says “uh ooooh” after dropping something
- Her reaction when I pick her up at daycare
- Her high five and pointy fingers
- When she solves a puzzle and claps her hands
- When she sits down in a corner and reads a book
- Peek-a-boo and tag games
- When she drinks her milk with one hand like a boss
- Seeing her curiosity of different things
- Seeing her learn something new and her face lights up with excitement
- Singing her lullaby every night
Things I Can’t Wait to Be There For
- When she finally figures out how to do the buckle (she’s been fascinated and trying a long time)
- Introduction to fairy tales and fantasy
- When she knows more Chinese than her mother and we have a secret bond over language
- When she tells a joke that makes everyone laugh
- When she figures out throwing a ball or Frisbee
- When she starts picking her own clothes and fashion
- When she understands the wonders of the universe and astrology
- Her “why” phase
- When she experiments playing with different musical instruments
- When she learns the lyrics to her favorite song
- When she rides her first bike
- When she calls someone her friend
- When she creates something she’s proud of
- When she learns to cook a simple dish
- When she tells us she loves us
