Running through the neighbours' sprinkler. After the first time, she would only go if I held her hand. Can you say "wet t-shirt", so I cropped the pic ;)
Earlier, we'd been stopped at a light and a number of pedestrians were crossing:
Malia: People, be ca'eful b/c of the road and the cars. See, I am in a car. You have to be ca'eful."
(yet to determine whether she meant she was safer that they were by being in the car, or that they were in more peril b/c I was driving! ;)
Then after supper,on the porch, I was reading a book to her that I picked up at Costco yesterday called, Someday . Suddenly, something in it hit me (Mamas with daughters you HAVE to get this, you do) and I was crying, pretty hard, without warning.
Malia: (Taking my face in her hands, greatly concerned" Wha' happen'd, mama? Wha' happen'd?"
Me: Nothing honey, just the book.
Malia: It make you sad?
Me: Yes, but just for a moment.
Malia: (cuddling into me, and after a pause) Mama, I like swings and I like people, but I love you more.
We hugged and gave kisses for a long time, then she said:
Mama, you read the book again. This time it not make you sad, okay?
Wow...
