“Mommy, look it’s Maarwee!” she says with a big grin and in her not so quiet five year old voice.
“Who honey?” I asked her, as she pointed at the screen with excitement.
“Maarwee!!!! Mommy, Maarwee! She is singing. She’s from Jack’s show {Jack’s Big Music Show}.”
I paused. I watched to see the woman on the TV to figure out the name my daughter was saying with such glee. Then it hit me. I remembered.
“Oh, Mary! You like her?” I asked her with my own smile crawling across my face as I took in her excitement.
“Yes, I just love Maarwee!” And then she began to sing right along with Maarwee! While she danced her Raggedy Andy doll across the air as if he were Fred Astaire.
And I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched her. Ya know, once she starts saying Mary the right way I am going to miss her sweet lisp and these moments. More than that I am going to miss her being this little.
