That would be just perfect.

As we were heading out to run errands, and go to the park today, I had buckled both you and Maddox in, and went inside to grab the keys.  I decided to give you two a little bit of candy, and I had just finished talking to your Papa on the phone.  You asked me where I had gotten the candy from and I responded that your Papa had gotten the candy for you. 

A few seconds went by and then you said, "Did papa give the candy to you through the phone?"  I had to chuckle because your thinking was on the right path, and you are developmentally in the right place.  You are always thinking about the world around you and I truly appreciate that about you.

Another moment that I enjoyed was when we were at the Elder's Quorum BBQ that got rained out to the chapel.  You were playing on the stage with some of the children.  When I went to check in on you, you were inside this little cardboard area and you were pretending that you were a kitty.  How darling. 


Then tonight as we were attempting to put you to bed, Papa was laying with you and you were having a hard time.  You mentioned something about "Mama,'' and Papa asked you if you wanted your mama.  And you said through tears, "That would be just perfect.  That is what I want.  I want my mama.  That's all I want."  You melt my heart, baby girl.  I remember once upon a time ago when all you wanted was your dad. 

You are so communicative.  You really tell me what is going on in your sweet mind, and often when I am frustrated, you have this ability through your reasoning and words that help me calm down, and help me to realize how important you guys are versus what I feel the way things need to go.  Thank you for helping me to remember not to sweat the small stuff.

I love you.
