Yesterday, I was working on my laptop while Sky was playing with her doll on the living room floor. "You working, mommy?" asked Sky as she laid a blanket on her baby doll. "Yes, I'm working", I replied quickly hoping to she'd be satisfied with my answer and let me focus on my email. Next thing I knew, she climbed up on the couch and sat next to me while still holding and tending to her baby doll. Another quiet minute or two passed and she stood up on the couch, put her arms around my neck and kissed me on the cheek. "Don't worry, Mommy" she said quietly as she moved my hair out of my face. Of course that got my attention and I pushed the laptop off onto the ottoman and sat her down on my lap. "You finished working now, Mommy?" she said with a smile on her face. "Yup, I'm finished working. Now can we play?" She quickly handed me her baby doll, "you wait, I need to get some toys for the baby".
I must have somehow encouraged her saying "don't worry" because now she says it to anyone that is sad or crying (Aiden).
Don't worry, Aiden.
Don't worry, Daddy.
Don't worry, Mommy.
I'm telling you, when that little girl says those words, all the worry melts off and the whole world is absolutely perfect.
Sky, you are too, too precious. You don't have any idea what a worry is, thank God, and yet you are compassionate and comforting. Who wouldn't be soothed with your words and brusing the hair out of their face?
ReplyDeleteYou are the most Sky of all time.
xxxooo Nana Beth
and that picture Mommy took of you is very, very beautiful!
I hope you know in the future when you read these comments that I have added to your photos, Aiden's photos and family photos that it makes my day so BRIGHT that your Sweet Mother shares a glimpse of the life that she shares with you and Aiden and I am forever indebted to her for sharing. Watching the changes take affect in both of you has been an amazing adventure and one that I treasure and look forward to every week. I hope when you are older and see that so many people love you, that you know you both have made a DIFFERENCE in this World, just to watch you grow. Thanks Laila, you are Blessed with precious gifts from God in your children. You never cease to amaze me with your documentation of the children.
ReplyDeleteSharon! You are too nice! I can't thank you enough for the interest that you've taken in the foosblog. I am totally flattered that you enjoy the stories and pictures of Aiden and Sky. I look forward to reading your comments every week. I know that Aiden and Sky will be more interested in reading the comments friends and family write on the blog rather than the blog itself. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
