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.
