You forgot Asher

This one is Mommy's, but I'll relay it.

Tahlia has realized that Mommy and Asher are always together. Daddy is back at work, so when Asher is awake, he is with Mommy. This is a huge change for Tahlia, but she is doing as well as one can expect.

Let me set the scene.

It is the end of nap time. Mommy always has Asher with her during nap time. Usually, Asher is screaming and, therefore, it is apparent that Asher is there. Tahlia has this strange ability to make act as if he isn't there. That his screaming is only for people three years old or older. Not for her two year old ears. Usually, when Tahlia goes down for nap, Asher is on Mommy's hip. When she wakes, Asher is on Mommy's hip.

But, on this rare occasion, Mommy was able to get Asher to go down before Tahlia woke and Mommy needed to go in because Tahlia had called.

Mommy is happy with herself. It is so rare that she has a moment alone with Tahlia, the child with whom she has spent almost every waking hour for the past year.

She walks into the room and gives Tahlia a great big hug. Almost instantly, Tahlia realizes and pushes Mommy away. She is concerned and states, "Mommy, you forgot Asher."

It is rare, these moments, and Tahlia sees it too.
