The right idea....

Today I sat Sofia down to eat her lunch. I decided to nurse Leila before I fed her table food and so I sat down and did so. The next thing I know, Sofia decided to do the same thing for "Icy," our local hockey team's mascot. She says, "look mom, I givin' Icy some milk too!"

It was darling. I said "you've got the right idea, sister!"

Precious moments

Tonight I had a wonderful opportunity to put my daughter Sofia to bed. A lot of times my husband and I split the duty, I take little Leila and Jamie takes Sofia. Tonight it worked out for me to put Sofia to bed. She and I usually cuddle up together and we say some prayers. I always ask her if there is something or someone else she wants to pray for. Tonight we were going through the grandmas. Here is how it went down:

Mom: is there anyone else you want to pray for?

Sofia: and... grandma Judy! And grandma Ann and grandma Di...

Mom: and grandma B? Grandma Drake?

Sofia: ...and grandma B and Grandma Drake that she not sick. Is grandma Drake sick, mommy?

Mom: Well, she was sick the other day, that's why we couldn't have dinner together. But I think she is all better now.

Sofia: She had an ouchie?

Mom: Her belly just hurt a little bit, but I think it is better now.

Sofia: She has a baby in there, mom?

Mom: (chuckle) No, honey, I think she just ate something that made her belly feel yucky.

Sofia: Oh.

I love that my little girl can talk now and we can have conversations like this one. Moments like these I wish I could bottle forever. Sofia, thanks for being my girl!
