July 26, 2012 - Lily says, "Stewart is a little child of God." Melted my heart! It was so simple and precious. In that moment I had to scoop up my little boy and give him a squeeze and kiss. Lily reminded me that her and Stewart are children of God and that I have been given a gift of motherhood and the responsibility to take care of them. I need do it to the best of my ability and remember that they are children of God more often! I sure love my little Lily for her sweet reminders :)
April 13, 2012 - Grandma and Grandpa Stewart moved to St. George two weeks ago and I've have been trying to explain to Lily that they don't live in their house anymore. I tell her that when Daddy goes on another business trip we can go visit Grandma and Grandpa in their new house. So tonight during Lily's prayer she added, "thank you Daddy goes on a trip so we can go to St. George." I think she is looking forward to Paul's next airplane ride even though I know that she misses him terribly when he is gone!
March 28, 2012 - While leaving Harmon's Lily asked, "where we going next?" I said that we were going home to have lunch and asked her if she wanted a sandwhich or chicken nuggets. She said, "chicken nuggets! Can I have both ranch and ketchup?" and I said "sure!" Then Lily said, "thank you for being such a good, nice mom!" (normally I only let her have ketchup or ranch). I guess I know how to get on her happy, good side now :)
March 21, 2012 - Stewart was eating some dirt out of a potted plant so with a slightly raised voice I said, "Stewart NOO!" Lily came rushing in to see what was wrong. Once she realized it was no big deal she turned and started walking out of the room saying, "He's just a little baby mom." I love that she is teaching me patience and love in so many different ways!
Also today she said while on the potty and looking at her new size 4 big girl panties, "my bum got big so now I get to wear these panties!"
Many times since she was about 2 1/2 when I have become frazzled or upset by something she sweetly asks, "Are you happy momma?" It immediately makes me forget whatever insignificant problem was getting the best of me because I have such a sweet, caring little child.
