Some cute stuff...

So I'm constantly being reminded of why I LOVE being a mom...and these moments seem to come right when the monotony and unseen hard work of motherhood starts to really get to me. Sophia has given me plenty of opportunities to reflect on the privilege of being her mom, but wanted to share a couple..

1) Tonight we when got back from hanging out with some friends, the 3 of us were walking outside from our car to our apartment. Sophia looks up in the sky and finds the moon (which she has recently become super intrigued by). After she made sure that Justin and I knew where the moon was, she looks up and says "I hold you, moon?"....then "night night, moon"...can you hear my heart melting?? So cute!

2) A couple of weeks ago I was rocking her while she was getting ready to go down for bed. As we're rocking (with her head nestled in the crook of my elbow looking up at me) I start telling her about all the people who love her. I listed off Mommy, Daddy, The Grandpas and Grandmas, Aunts and Uncles, Great Grandparents, etc. After I got through the list, she looks up at me and adds, "and Jesus?". After I got passed kicking myself for not thinking to add the MOST important person to the list and being "corrected" by my two year old:-), I thanked the Lord that she, at this young age, could verbalize that He loves her! How amazing!
