3-30-08 - Snuggling with Mom at Church

This evening, we headed back out to church so I could watch a show about the Bible and the book "The Secret." At one point, Moo and I were able to snag the couch in the cafe to watch the show. We snuggled together. She said that these few moments were her favorite part.

After listening to her favorite part, I was just amazed with her (as I often am). I told her that when she becomes a teenager, she will not want to snuggle and listen to me. She assured me that she would! I know it may not really be the way she says it will, but it's not impossible. It just warms my heart now to hear how she feels at this moment. Talking with her tonight reminds me of the mom in the Robert Munsch book, "Love You Forever," who sneaks into her grown son's house at night to rock him. "As long as I'm living, my baby she'll be!"

3-23-07 - Easter!

When I asked Moo about her favorite part of 3-23, Easter Day, she said, "Easter!" When I asked which part, she replied, "Easter!" I guess that means the whole day and nothing but the whole day. In the morning, she reveled in her visit from the Easter Bunny. Two Webkinz - one from the bunny and one from us - were in her basket, along with the movie "Enchanted" and some candy. Next we went to church, where she got to sit with us instead of going to her class. Leaving church was inspiring as well. The parking lot was full, so full that we had to wait awhile to get out. We had carpooled with friends, so the wait was pleasant, as we discussed how great it was to have so many people hearing the Easter message. The day continued by eating with our friends and their parents (who got Moo another Easter basket) and attended the egg hunt in town. After the egg hunt, J and I played games with our friends as Moo and her friend played and then popped popcorn in an old-fashioned popcorn machine. A whole day with family and friends! No wonder she couldn't pick one favorite part!

2-7-08 - Chasing boys

Oh no! Chasing boys! It's started already! Well, not really. Moo said her favorite part of Wednesday the 7th was chasing "L" and "Z" at church. "L" is her cousin and "Z" is a boy in her class at school. I didn't ask her if she caught them. The chase is where the fun is!
