like, right down the hallway, into the playroom to go with her sister.
didn't. even. look. back.
up until now, we have not been more than maybe 10 feet from each other unless she was within 10 feet of her daddy.
I was in shock.
If I am cleaning the kitchen or cooking, she plays at my feet or is in the sling.....
If I am knitting, or checking emails or reading- she is nursing or playing at my feet or is in the sling.....
so ira went running into the playroom, i was standing in the living room talking to jared and liv squirmed to be put down.
she took. off.
fast.
jared said, "wow, you are no longer a food source to be kept in direct line of sight, you are a permanent fixture to her, she feels safe to leave you".
i was about to feel sad, until he spoke... then, his words framed up my emotions and put it up in front of me to see the beauty & magic that is intuitive/attachment parenting.
this is what all those awkward sleeping babe in sling trips to the restroom were for.... this is why i sit silently, holding her while she sleeps for naps.... this is why i nurse her in the mei tei while i dance to brazilian music and cook dinner and clean and craft with ira...
so that she may feel safe and secure enough to take off and explore.
