She melts my heart

I went to Adi’s school twice, the first time to drop off a poster at her school and the second time to eat lunch with her on her birthday.  The first time, after dropping off the poster in her classroom, I went to the playground to find her and being the sweet and caring girl that she is, she was pushing a friend on the swing.  I called out her name and her face just lit up and she smiled so big and started screaming and ran towards me as fast as she could.  I held her and hugged her and she gave me a kiss.  All in front of her friends!  

Then the second time, I went and ate lunch with her at her school and brought her waffle love, at her request.  We also made little gift bags for her classmates for her to hand out.  When I parked my car in front of the school, the school called me at Adi’s request because she was waiting for me to come eat lunch with her and she wondered where I was(I was literally a minute late).  Then she ran out the front door of the school and ran towards me to hug me and she was so excited.  She took me to the lunchroom where she had two seats saved right in the middle of the table among her classmates and  we ate lunch while we talked and I got to know her closest friends from her class.  There was still 20 mins. left of lunch and  she asked me to stay and play with her until lunch was over, so I did.  I had 9 kids chasing me around as we played tag where I was the bear.  And when the bell rang letting them know it was time to go back inside, she just held me tight and started to get teary eyed and told me she didn’t want me to leave!  My heart was melting!  She held me forever and I had to walk her to her classroom.  A few of her friends told me I should stay with them and they all chanted yes when I asked them, “Should I pretend I am a 6-7 year old and stay with you guys?  I look like I’m your age, don’t I?” and Adi was pretty serious about me pretending to be a student and staying with her.  But I had to let her go and we waved goodbye until we could no longer see each other.  On the way to my car, I cried because 1. She is just the sweetest and I love her so much. 2. 1st graders are gone way too long when they’re still so little, I miss her so much in the day. 3. It won’t be long until she’s not as excited or proud to have me around in front of her friends and at school.  

I love my little girl.  I wish she could stay this little forever.  Oh wait, I have her on video saying a verbal contract that she would never get married and live with me and dad forever!  So I guess that solves the problem. 😉
