It has been too long since I went to the Temple. Towards the end of my pregnancy I just could not sit for that long without going to the toilet. Since then, I've been, ahem, nursing. I just havent gotton around to leaving my little one with someone for that long. The thought is kind of worrying. Even though she drives me nuts and sometimes I dream of a couple of hours refuge, when it comes right down to it I couldnt leave her. But it had been too long. So Henna and I decided to brave it and head back. (Let it be known that Henna has been to the Temple several times during the past year.)
We were leaving Tia at my sister, Naomi's house. Tia is familiar there and has Emi to play with. We were a little unsure how she would go saying goodbye, previously when we say goodbye and close a door she cries. We arrived at Naomi and Bills house and they come outside to wave us off. Naomi was holding Emilie, Bill had Tia. She loves Uncle Bill. I got back in the car and yelled out the window "bye!!" You will never guess what she did. She smiled and waved a big wave. The shock of my life. We drove off, amazed by how easy it was.
The Temple was great. I sat there and felt like it was only yesterday since my last visit. I was seeing my old friend again. I barely had a chance to think about Tia until the end. We headed back to pick her up via Hungry Jacks, to discover she had been fine and had been asleep for a few hours. It was a relief, and I know we will go to the Temple a little more often next year.
So I have finally left her for a considerable amount of time. My next thing is to get her sleeping in her cot, then in another month or so her own room... (poor daddy has been sleeping on the floor, she has kicked him out.)
