Late

So I'm off to a great start here. I forgot to post this past weekend and it's only my second post. I thought about it on Saturday, but put it off for Sunday.
I've got two things for this post...one new insight and one anecdote:
The anecdote happened within hours of my last post. I came home from the coffee shop where I wrote the last post and Casey was up with Sesame. We had received some books for her for when she's older. I decided to read one of them and I chose the one about a girl, Emily, and her daddy. He takes her on his bike to ballet class. These bike rides are special times. Later in the story, Emily begins to ride her own bike. This book hit so close to home and I was already emotionally vulnerable. Halfway through, I had to stop because I was so choked up. After a break, I finished the book, but got totally choked up again. It's weird to me to cry because I'm so happy and full of hope.
I have learned that Sesame decides everything we do. We can make plans to meet up with friends, go to church, etc., but if Sesame is in a fussy mood, we don't leave the house. I'm okay with that, but it's totally new to me.

Thanks for stopping by!
and honestly, I totally get the choked up thing. I'm "just" an Auntie, but all it takes is considering a thing (like how fast my girls are growing up) and I get all misty and find a huge lump in my throat.
Can't wait to meet Sesame. Not sure when I'll get back to PDX, but I'll be sure to connect so I can meet Her Sweetness.

BTW, I love that you are dad-blogging. That is a beautiful thing.
