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!
