Electric with Joy!
Noodle prefers the Boss to Nonna - Noodle's little body simply becomes electric with joy when she sees Boss.
She loves a little cuddle from me, but as soon as she see Boss I become chopped liver. Every. Single. Time. Recently, Boss traveled for a few weeks and Noodle missed seeing him something fierce. Whenever I visited, it was "Nonna!" with a smile. And then, "Boss?" with a sad, puzzled face - even her little body seemed to slump a bit. But when he came home - wow! - she would not let him go for hours. Even if I am chopped liver, I love seeing how much Noodle adores the Boss! The best way to cultivate our children's joy is to build deep, strong loving bonds with them. Still This Love Goes On is an inspiration to think about the people and the places we love - when we do, joy goes on and on as well. Buffy Sainte-Marie
