Ok, so this is completely unrelated to this picture except for the fact that it's precious about M. Over a week ago we were in the grocery store and M was in a "car cart". You know them. They always ask for them. Well we get to check-out and something's not right so we have to wait while they do a price check. I was tired and somewhere in my waiting M left. I didn't notice until we were walking out and I started talking to her and went to park the cart and get her out and she wasn't there. I ran the cart back in (I do have a baby in an infant carrier) and told the manager. He started yelling orders to secure the front doors and just then M walks in the front doors on the other side. She'd gone to get a "blue one" instead of the "green one" we had. I was completely scared out of my wits and asked her why she "left Mommy" and let her know how scared I was. Well it must have made an impression because today right out of the blue she turns around and says, "Mommy sorry for scaring you in the bread store." (We'd run in to get a loaf of fresh sourdough for dinner). It's amazing to me how much they can soak up and process. It may take a while but the way she said it I know she was truly sorry and knew that it really had scared me. I love it when I can see M's true spirit underneath all the two-year-old craziness. She's going to be amazing when she grows up. She's going to be one of the most caring individuals I know.
P.S. We took this picture because she'd taken her sheet off and decided to just sleep on the mattress.

Must be going around. LM took off two weeks ago. I was not nearly as thoughtful as your were about the whole thing. Instead, he got an hour long tongue lashing from me which had a few "unacceptable" words included. You ROCK! So does M!
