Sadie in the Summer

In Sadie's world the playground is all hers, ice cream can be eaten
at any hour, Elmo hugs her back, airplanes can be plucked from the
sky once seen and given to her papa, and her crib is really for
jumping. She turned two on June 5 and will sometimes answer
with a peace sign and "two man" when she is asked how old she
is. She also says "one man" so who knows. She is the great
negotiator. Reading two books will turn into four books. One popsicle
will suddenly become two.

She is independent which breaks my heart. I mean I want her to be
her own person. We've been encouraging her in everyway possible. But
when she turns to me in her pigtails and backpack to wave bye-bye and
disappears around the corner with her papa, I want her back in my arms
needing me to round that corner.
