Every night as Elliot and I sit down to finish our work that didn't get done during the day - one of us will ask, "What was your favorite thing that Ada did today?" We do this to help us remember all the wonderful things she does, which are sometimes over looked by the typical toddler tantrums over things like having to eat a baked potato instead of chicken nuggets. How dare we?!?!
The other night Elliot recalled one of the most heart meltingly cute things that Ada does. When she is hanging out with just one of us (usually Elliot), she will start to feel really comfortable so she snuggle in a little closer, put her arm around you, put her face right next to yours, look you in the eyes, and say "Hi" in a way that makes you want to just gobble her up so that you can fully enjoy her sweetness.
It is these moments of cuteness that allow us to forget about all of the sleep Ada has robbed us of, all of the confusion she has caused as we tried to figure out what "Dowda dee dee DAAAA" meant while she screamed at the top of her lungs, and all of the times she hears us say "Ada don't touch X" and she goes right along and not only touches X but throws it across the room. Yes, these moments of cuteness are Ada's way of wiping out our memory of all of the bad things that she does.
A sign of things to come? We'll see how well that "Hi" works on Elliot the first time Ada tries to sneak back into the house after missing curfew.
