To Be Five Again…

Monday afternoon, I needed to change the Terbutaline pump site in my tummy. Lauren and her little friend were playing behind the sofa. I discreetly set up the supplies. Lauren popped up, saw what I was doing and said, “Want to watch my mom?” Both girls excitedly ran over, ready for the show. Lauren said, “I am going to sit right here so I can see!” Little friend said, “I am going to stand so that I have a good view!”

In all the hub-bub, I forgot to take the sticky tape part off that attaches to the needle with the catheter inside. So, I stuck the needle in my tummy and then realized I was going to have to start all over. Shoot! I pulled the needle back out and both girls yelled, “Yay, she gets to do it again!”

I can only imagine what little friend told her mom when she got home.

A little later, the girls were back behind the sofa playing. Little friend said, “Lauren, I wish I was allergic to peanuts so that I could sit with you at the peanut-free table at school.” Lauren said, “I wish you were too!”

Five year olds are cute! :)

    Be cautious! There is no secret with five year olds. They are so pure, and their love is so true.

    How cute! It’s so funny that children have a whole different view of things. My grand-daughter has to be gluten free and so she sits at a gluten free table and it’s like the best thing that could ever have happened. She feel so special.

      Aunt Sharon, I was so worried that Lauren would be upset about sitting at the peanut-free table. Turns out, she loves it! The first day of school I asked her about the table and she said, “I’m glad I sit there. The other tables are crazy loud!” She sits with two little boys and we get to hear all about their antics!

    Perfect! They are so perfect. I want that same vision. Pure and God-like.
