Sweet words

Tonight before bedtime we were sitting on the sofa and Ashlyn started talking to me about her swimming lessons. She said:

Mommy...I go swimming with Ms Pam and kick a feet and blow bubbles. up up up! Go to ladder and up up up.



Today after her nap she wanted to get in the pool so we did and she had her mermaid Ariel doll and was holding it by the hands and telling her to kick her feet and blow bubbles. Then she would tell it "good job" She is such a nurturing little mommy, I love it. She's already trying to teach her own swimming lessons. Which by the way today she started out crying but halfway thru she stopped and did really well. She was wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool waiting her turn and I noticed she was very still and her head was a bit tilted, went over and looked at her and she was asleep!! It was so cute, the day I dont bring my camera! ha. She is worn out by the time it's over.



And then I put her to bed and we say I prayers. I usually pray first and she repeats me but tonight I was quiet to see what'd she say and she says with her hands folded:

Jesus, thank you for our day, Jesus..thank you ...(pause) for our day. Amen.

And we always pray "and please keep daddy safe and bring him home soon" so I start out..

Me: please keep

A: please keep.... daddy.... safe.........home.......soon. amen.



She brought tears to my eyes tonight of just how sweet she is and I love how she is communicating so well. I'm so proud of my baby girl.
