It is always those little moments that you do not want to forget! Yesterday, it was Grace coming down from her nap and I had made her favorite Peanut Butter and M&M cookies. She was so sweet. She told me, "Mommy, you are the best mommy! You always take care of me and you make the best cookies too!" This morning it was her waking me up as she crawled in our big bed and snuggling up next to me. She even offered me her silky. If you really know my girl, you know that is true love. I think the best is when we asked her what she was going to ask Santa for she replied, "Love! Everyone needs more love, right Mama?!". My 4 year old is so insightful and spiritual. I look at her and I see God in ways I never had before. I see him through my child's loving eyes.
Today, it was my "Hopie-Lopes" (yes, she will hate that nickname when she gets older!). The little smiles and kisses she gives and her holding my arm as I folded the laundry telling me "I help you Mama, I help!". We were in Best Buy tonight and kept chasing me and then running away yelling, "You can't catch me Mama! You can't catch me!" Her little laugh was echoing through the store and gaining the smiles of everyone we passed, all of us laughing. After we got our p.j.'s on, it was watching her touch the ornaments on the tree. She loves the red truck that was the ornament we bought for her last year. My girl loves trucks and cars! In her funny little voice she kept saying, "Dis my car Mama? Dis is Hopie's car! I love my car Mama!" She was taking ornaments off the tree, moving them around singing "Jesus Loves Me" and having the best time. I use to wonder before I had Hope how I could love another baby as much I did Grace. When we discovered I was pregnant, I found out. It came immediately! I know God blessed my life with Hope to show me how deeply I could love.
These 2 girls have brought us so much joy and love. Maybe one day they will read these little tidbits of their Mama's rambling and get a little tingles of joy over the little moments that make my day!
