My Challenge to the World

Wednesday, March 31, 2010




I challenge anyone to find me a cuter experience than having my 2-yr old daughter, crying and sobbing, complain to me in her baby voice, 'Abujee, my eyes not woking!' because she's confused by the tears in her eyes that have blurred her vision.

I gently wipe away her tears and ask her if her eyes are now working, to which she bashfully smiles and whispers, 'Yes, I'm okay now'.

Moments like that make all the hell we go through as parents totally worth it!
