My "Raison D'etre"


As we walked The Beast through the park this morning, Malía was giggling and saying hello to everything from trees, to water, to anyone she saw.

Mama: (looking back over my shoulder) Hey goofy girl, why are you laughing so much?

Mal: Becuss I HAPPY!

Mama: Why are you so happy?

Mal: Becuss I love my Mama!!!

(aw, my heart! :)

Then later after her 2 "timbi's" at Tim Horton's, we stopped at a playground she's never been to, just as she was getting ready to fall asleep in the car.

Mama: Honey, do you want to play a little, or are you too tired?

Mal: (coming fully to life) Oh Mama! Swings!!! Oh Fun! Fun! Fun!

Mama: (reaching in to unbuckle the car seat) Okay, let's go then.

Mal: (throwing her arms around my neck) Oh, thank you, Mama! Thank you fo' swings fo' ME!!

Later, she was begging for McDonald's for supper, so I compromised, got her the fries, but made my own grilled cheese on brown bread and cut up some apples for dessert.

Mal: (on her 3rd or 4th bite of the "g'illed sheese") Thees ees so guut (she says good like a german with a long "u" sound LOL), Mama. So yummy fo' my tummy. (taking another bite) Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm.

Mama: Thank you Malía, I made it just for you.

Mal: Fo' me? Why?

Mama: Because I love you.
Mal: Why?

Mama: Because you're my baby.

Mal: Oh. (pause) Mama?

Mama: Yes, Mala?

Mal: I love you, too, Mama. Hug me p'ease?

(I do)

Mal: You wan' a fwie?

Mama: Sure. Thank you.

Mal: You welcome, mama.
