Out of the Mouths of Babes


One of my favorite things about being a Mom, is that special moments often occur during the most mundane moments. For instance, here's a quick interaction we had on a recent quick car ride.

Me: Every choice has a consequence. Does unbuckling your seat have good or bad consequences?
Kylea: Bad.... Buuut, I'm just a good lady!
Me: Yes you are!
Kevin: You're a good kid. You're not a lady yet!
Kylea: Yeah, I'm a kid.... Mommy's a lady!
Me: Yup, that's true. 

(A few moments of silence)
Neila: I A CHILD OF GOD!

Then my heart exploded with joy and pride. What a very thoughtful and inspired thing to come out of the mouth of a two year old.

Five



Five. She's five today. Maybe it's because I'm 38 weeks pregnant, but I just keep picturing that day five years ago when our lives forever changed. She made us parents. 

She's spunky and filled with a huge energy for life. 

She's sweet. I treasure our bedtime snuggles. She tells me about her day and about her dreams and sometimes even a sweet unsolicited " I love you Mommy."

The world shines brighter with her in it. Happy birthday, Princess! We love you more than we could ever express.
