And it's funny - I thought about that same incident when I read this latest letter.

Lea was two and Olivia was barely a year old at the time and I only got to see them on the weekends. I distinctly remember one day, when I was eating at a McDonalds (living my own version of "Supersize Me"), I saw a woman with a little girl about Olivia's age. This brought up such intense feelings in me. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. I so wanted to go over there and engage them in conversation (and anyone who knows me would recognize how uncharacteristic that would be of me). When I told Tammy of this later, she said that I should have and that the mother would probably have liked having her child receive the attention, but I kept picturing it from the mother's point of view. In the end, I just sat there, eating my Big Mac and enjoyed watching a mother play with her little daughter. I hope she wasn't too freaked out by the creepy guy paying a little too much attention.

(I was watching, too - what a repulsive, hypocritical - no, I'm not gonna get started - my KLG hate knows no bounds) Sorry to tell you, sweetie, but those fears you mentioned? They don't get any better as your baby girl gets older. Maybe even a little worse, if you can imagine... I always enjoy your letters, and the pictures are, as usual, unbearably cute (I hope that didn't sound creepy - lol)! Keep up the excellent "Mommyblogging" - critics be damned!
