Last night Eliza slept in her big girl bed for the first time. I wasn't sure how it was going to work out, but it went very well. She only got out of bed once and what she did was pretty cute. It was about 2:00 am and I heard a loud thud and then heard Eliza cry just a little. I ran upstairs to see if she was okay and expected to see her on the floor asleep, playing with toys or just walking around. When I didn't see her doing any of these things I started to worry, I couldn't find her. Then I saw her. She was snuggled up next to Abby in her bed. How sweet is that?!?!
Sometimes the things my girls do or say take me off guard and really surprised me.
Last month Abby said something that touched me. For several weeks before my mom got married I had been trying to explain to her that she was going to have two Grandpas on my side of the family. I would tell her that Grandpa Bryon lives on a farm and that Grammie was going to go live with him and that Grandpa Dave use to work on the Airplanes we live next to on Hill AFB, but that he his in Heaven right now. I was pretty sure she understood that because She would point to the picture of my dad and tell me that he worked on planes. Then one day I was getting her dressed and out of the blue she said "Baby brother with Grandpa Dave." I was quite for a minute because I got a little teary eyed, I was so surprised that she understood more than I had thought.
I am so blessed to be able to have these sweet little ones in my life. They are so close to heaven, so innocent, so loving. I learn more from them than they do from me.
