This morning, while putting on my shoes for work, Margaret crawls over to me, pulls herself up on my pants legs, hugs my legs, looks up at me with her beautiful, glistening eyes, and says, "Bah bah!" (her version of "hold me" in Chinese)
I pick her up, upon which she says, "Shie Shie." (Thank you, again, in Chinese).
After a few minutes of snuggling, kissing and last minute playing, I put her down, upon which she immediately begins crying.
The bag and shoes must have tipped her off.
As I waited for the elevator, I could hear the pounding of little hands against the other side of the door.
My heart is broken. *sigh*

So sweet... I guess you could always bring her to work with you.
ah, but when you leave, you get to say hi to her when you get back home!
An electrifying image, John!
Ohhh...That's a hard moment! SO bittersweet. Sigh...hard to keep on going down that elevator, 'til you're on the street and thinking about how awkward it would be 1. to explain why you were late to work, or 2. why she was with you! (funny, Joannie!) :-)
