When the world seems huge, and I seem small...
I was sitting here on the couch tonight, wasting my life away on facebook. I couldn't help but watch though, as Ava stole my heart yet again. Stevie's sleeping at a friend's house, so it was just the two of us here. Ava asked to turn off the TV so she could turn on the radio and dance. Lord, thank you for giving me these moments with her - they take me to that place I need to be when the world seems huge, and I seem small.
She twirled in circles, face lifted to the sky and hands flying all around her. She laughed, and giggled and didn't stop for 20 minutes or more. Almost brought tears to my eyes to see the pure innocence in the room... She even stopped for a moment to grab her butt, shake it side to side and sing "shake your boooty, shake your booty!" Every now and then, she'd yell out "Look me mommy!" I didn't have to look though, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I just wanted to scoop her up and hold her and love her, because she made my world so small - we were the only two that existed.
One twirl too many and the moment came crashing to a halt... Dizziness tackled Ava to the floor where she bonked her head. 830pm anyway, time for bed. :) 849 now, and nothing but silence from her room. Goodnight baby girl, I LOVE you!
