Hold this

I was working at the computer and the girls were downstairs playing.

Hannah needed to go upstairs to tell Brian something.

Hannah:  "Here mom, hold this.  Just like this.  Don't smell it and don't move.  OK?"

She must not trust me too much because after she turned the corner she came back just to check on me.

She has recently told me that she really loves her Dankie and she wants to keep her Dankie forever.

I told her it was fine and she could keep Dankie forever.

Hannah:  "Even when I get bigger, I want him.  I love him so much!"

Me:  "That is fine, Hannah.  You can keep him forever, just remember that    "

Hannah:  (while pointing in my direction) "I know, no bringing to places and no bringing outside."

Conversations like this make me really happy that we never let her bring her Dankie to daycare.  I couldn't imagine how we would be sending her to school in a few years without that thing......I mean without him (sorry Dankie).
