35 t i m e s

so, my baby is growing up.  she is 2 1/2 and

she tells complete strangers that she is 5.

when people tell me that time goes so fast 

when they are young...i am starting to understand

what they mean.  

this morning liv was jumping in her "hooli" {hula hoop}

that her poppi gave her.

she asked me to say, 

"wow" every time she jumped into it.

well, you know where this is going-

i think i "wowed" her at least 35 times...

she tried all different ways of jumping in and out of her hooli-hoop.

she finally wore herself out from jumping.

we both laughed and smiled...she was so proud of her accomplishment-

and i was reminded to take it all in.

so today...we said  wow  35 times.
