Sorry Soph

Hey my sweet girl,

Here is a little note to say -

I'm sorry I laughed that time your beanie fell over your eyes and you were momentarily rendered blind-ish. It was pretty funny from an outside perspective.

I'm sorry I had that curry. I was just craving it so much. I promise, no more curries. Believe me, we both paid for that.

I'm sorry I won't stop tickling you. Even when it makes you grumpy. You laughed that one time, and damnit, I will tickle you till you laugh again.

I'm sorry I changed your nappy at 2 am on Tuesday. I know you hate it. And it makes your little batty cold. But I don't want you to get a soggy butt or nappy rash.

I'm sorry I didn't change your nappy at 2 am on Wednesday. Mama was really tired and you were fussing. I will put some cream on that tush.

I'm sorry I put socks on you when you were just born. They drove you crazy (and looked quite odd, in retrospect) - but those nails - so sharp baby girl!

I'm sorry I have to take you out of the bath. I would spend all day in a big bath with you if I could too kid. But there are other things in life, like naps and work. You win this one believe me.

I'm sorry I got ice cream sandwich on your face the other night. But to be fair I was balancing you, a taco, a drink, and my dessert. I also got covered in taco. I know how you feel.

I'm sorry I give you kisses all over your face and tickle your ears. I'm going to keep doing that until you can fight back. You kissable little poppet you.

I'm sorry I made you wear those baby costumes... I am sure one day we will look back on that photo of you as a football and laugh.

I'm sorry I spilled broccoli in your hair. And roast chicken. And sweet potato. Sometimes Mama wants to eat dinner too.

I'm sorry I dress you up in vintage dresses and take photos. But not really. You are adorable.

So, in summary, your Mama isn't perfect. But goodness me, I am madly in love with you kid.
