Laughing Cackle

K, you have the absolute best laughing cackle in the world.

You only do it when you get to laughing too hard and can’t stop.

(Or you are being silly.)

But this high-pitched shrill of a laugh comes from somewhere deep down.

Mom says you sound like Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter.

When it’s natural, it’s the sweetest thing.

I love you.

Just Worried

K, you said the absolute sweetest thing the other day.

H was headed to Callie’s house to swim before going to Nerf Wars and Hazel’s church.

I knew all that, but when I came to pick you up from school, H was already gone.

I wanted to check and make sure she got where she was supposed to go – but before I could stop you – you ran to the back of the school and started asking all the teachers “Where is my sister?!” 🤣

We talked to Ms. Butler though and she assured us everything was good.

You didn’t say much on the way back to the car.

I asked if you were ok and you said.

Yeah, I was just worried about H. I know we fight a lot and push each other’s buttons. But she is my best friend. I love her so much.

My girl. 🥲

I love you.

Kind Of Game

K, my sweet flower.

You are just the sweetest thing right now.

But I have to tell you about what happened at Grandma and Grandpa’s house this last week.

The first night there you slept with Mom in my old bed, and I slept in the rec room with T.

On the second night, we switched, and I slept with you in my room.

All that to say – you all went to bed way before I did – and I stayed up super late talking to Grandma and Grandpa.

When I finally came upstairs, I quietly got ready for bed, showered, brushed my teeth, and tiptoed over to you.

As I eased onto the bed and under the covers, you shifted and loudly said:

That’s enough. You know what kind of game this is.

Hahaha. 🤣

What in the world were you dreaming about?!

I have no idea.

But Monopoly is my guess.

I love you.
