Andie has learned how to wave about a month ago. But now she's really getting the knack of waving when told to do so... or when she hears Steve (of Blues' Clues) say "Goodbye!" She automatically raises her hand to do her own version of a wave.
I keep on painting pictures in my head of the day when she understands the idea of saying goodbye and how painful it can be especially when you say goodbye to people you love. And how more painful when the goodbye will mean really, goodbye and not just so long, until we meet again!
She's already 10 1/2 months old and she's really beginning to be a handful. She dances, she waves, she playfully bites us, even has her way of showing us when she wants to be carried! She's grown so fast that I am afraid when I the time I wave goodbye to her for me to leave her here I'd break down after I turn my back.
I better stop teaching her the wave. I'll try to teach her a new thing... To kiss. to welcome. But that is another story.
It's a preparation I have to make myself do, everyday. For her and for myself.
