I've been away for a few days, and Drew has been solo parenting Rachel. (THANK YOU, DREW!). Last night, less than an hour before I was due home, he was putting her to bed when she started saying, "mommymommymommymommymommymommy!" and pointing to the picture of herself and me in Eugene, taken about a year ago. I'm in my glasses and my hair is very short; I'm looking down at her and smiling, and she is leaning against my chest with a very pleased expression on her face.
Drew took the photo and handed it to Rachel. She pointed at herself, and Drew said, "that's Rachel!"
Then she pointed at me and he said, "that's Mommy! She's coming home tonight!"
Then she leaned down to the picture and put her lips on my face, as if she was trying to give me a kiss.
