Today happens to be one of those days- where things just didn’t fall into place.  All of the puzzle pieces refuse to connect!!  After taking 6 weeks off to bond with the Bear I am officially back to work.  I got up at 5:30AM, got ready as quick as I could and then I did the hardest thing a mother can do to her little hibernating baby bear.  I rolled her over and woke her up.  She gave me the most sour face a child can make and then went back to sleep.  After several attempts to wake her up, she finally gave in.  Eyes all wide open.

During the car ride to Mama’s (grandma) house Bear maintain the saddest face you can imagine.  It was the longest ten minute drive EVER!!  Every stop light I turn to look at her…Bear sitting in her car seat with a sense of lost and confusion.  After arriving at Mama’s house Bear looked relieved.  She was back to her original playing field.   It was as if I didn’t exist any longer.  Mama was there to rescue her from her temporary sadness.  Mama had the special touch.

I spend the last two minutes kissing and hugging her.   I smother her with words of love and walked out of the house.  I couldn’t look back.
