Weddings
She would often frolick across the soft padded surface, cantering across in small leaps and bounds, so fast that it almost seemed as if she was dancing with the air enveloping her. It was hard to imagine that there was so much energy bundled within her tiny frame - but then again, they do say that good things come in small packages.
Once her feet got tired of teasing the sheets with her spirited choreography, she deliberated. Sat down. And looked up. Her inflated pupils met mine, and I smiled. She was so cute, I thought to myself. At that point I realized in the miniscule span of 3 weeks, she had already grown. Alot.
I sighed, and then proceeded to drop a penny in the wishing well of my mind, as I wanted to selfishly press the pause button right at that moment so that she could remain this small and this fetching always... so that she could always fit neatly into my lap...so that I could always just scoop her up in a simple swift of my right hand...
But of course, as life has it. All things grow, all things age. Including ourselves. However, while the small does eventually evolve into the big, the witnessing of such a process can be a real joy. I've had the pleasure to file away in my memory bank alot of comical moments that still ignites a chuckle within when I pull them out for recollection.
Seriously though, Padme is so big compared to the day we picked her up. She was also plagued with an awful case of mange that caused her obvious discomfort because she exhibited an extremely docile and quiet character which is completely different to the personality that resonates with us today. Today, what we see is a feline that is ever playful, ever cheeky, ever curious....
Oh and she runs at the speed of light. I think she can contend with superman at this rate! No, really. :p
Anyway, for now, I'm going to take the opportunity to enjoy the 'small' moments of the growing up process, and let my camera do the 'pausing'. Below are some of the 'paused' moments I grabbed yesterday. I dare you to dig into my archives, open up a new window with the first photo snapped of Padme and compare with yesterday's shots. She looks alot better now - all scrubbed up I would say! :)
