All in all, we had a nice day but in the spirit of full disclosure, Emma was a downright pill all afternoon. She was sick over the weekend, has two canine teeth on their way in, and took a far-too-short nap — some combination of that had her in the longest-lasting foul mood I’ve seen since she was an infant. She cried at (literally) the drop of a hat and tried both Jose’s and my patience.
But then during a brief interlude when she was content, I asked for a hug. And she immediately walked over, arms spread wide, and gave me one. Then she did the same to Jose. Instantly, I forgave her for all her fussy and cranky behavior.
So I love my little family. And I loved our Christmas.
