One of the best parts of this trip is having so many helping hands with Maggie and everyone is more than happy to get some squeezes in with her when they can. It helps to have lots of eyes on her, but what I’ve really appreciated is how I’m not the only one brag-talking about her. After Chaya had a long stretch in the car sitting in the back with Maggie, she popped out and shared a bunch of Maggie-Is-So-Smart stories.
And then there are those moments that Maggie does something ultra-cute, but also kind of naughty. For example, the other day at a rest stop where we were all enjoying a picnic lunch, Maggie proceeded to drop blueberries (possibly chewed) into the pocket of Sue’s shirt. Funny? Yes. Memorable? Of course. Gross? For sure.
More than once we’ve all had our attention on the littlest member of our group because she is doing something fantastic that demands we pause and celebrate by watching. It is the absolute best feeling in the world, as a mother, to look around the room and see love in every body’s eyes for my little girl. I can only imagine what Maggie feels when she sees a familiar face light up because she entered the room. The girl is loved, loved, loved!!!
On a side note, we’ve still got Izak. Yay!!!
