Love sick
She wanders out to the kitchen, a look of urgency on her face.
“You take me” she directs,
“you take me to the hospital”.
“Why?” I ask.
She rushes down the hallway and I follow. She has picked up her Dorothy the Dinosaur handbag and starts to pack it.
A plastic mobile phone, a pair of undies (important when you are still in nappies), a drink bottle and “Catty”.
It’s always serious when the Dorothy bag comes out.
So I ask her again, where we are going and she cups my face in her little hands, looks earnestly into my eyes and tells me…
“Take to hospital, Mummy”.
I am starting to worry. Perhaps she knows something that I haven’t picked up on, maybe she is sick.
“Why are we going to the hospital, bubba?” I ask.
” Because *M’s* there, I luff* him. I live with him, he make me feel so betterbetter”.
My sigh is huge.
She is not sick.
Well, she is,
just a bit.
Love sick.
*M* – paediatrician
*luff is an Ivy – ism for love.
Oh, that is so sweet and heartbreaking at the same time.
Lovely photo too
Awwww – way to focus on the positives, Miss Ivy!!
Aww that is so cute and innocent.
I love Ivy. Have I mentioned that lately?
Oh that is so sweet! If she has to see so much of him, at least she’s in love with the guy! Love that photo too
LOL She’s cute and gorgeous and has already picked a doctor for your son-in-law
That is JUST adorable.
Aw, she is gorgeous. And so innocent. Did I say I think she is gorgeous? Because I do. She must take after her Mum.
So adorable! And she is JUST BEAUTIFUL!!
So sweet and so heartbreaking at the same time. Ivy is just so beautiful.
((hugs))
Now THAT story made me smile.
Thank you.
I luffed it.
CB
That is just so adorable I could squeeze her until her head popped off.
But that would be bad, so I won’t. Honest.
I think I may be Ivy’s biggest fan…
She is absolutely precious! And so are you, my dear.
That is so great. And gorgeous. My first thought is that if she luffs him then she must feel comfortable with him and trust him. For all the times that you have worried about what he is doing, to have Ivy feel so comfortable with him is irreplaceable.
And I love the photo too
Awww that is so cute.
That story leaves me with such a luffly feeling. Simply precious!
Awwww!!! How adorable!!! Such a sweet little story!!!
“…he make me feel so betterbetter…” Oh, how cute is that?? I think my heart is in a little puddle somewhere on the floor.
Yup, there it is….
That is absolutely gorgeous! I almost shed a tear xoxoxo
I love that she packed a mobile phone. Obviously the girl knows her priorities.
Can I pack a bag too? Pleeeease?
Why is she so damn cute?
Hee hee, at least she likes the paed
She is so gorgeous – I bet M luffs her too
Completely gorgeous with its honesty and its optimism!
She is BEAUIFUL!!!!! And what a very sweet conversation ;o)
God I love that pic! Stunning.
And that kid, she is so awesome and cute I wanna die.
