Picture This

Last night, during our time after bath and before bed, the girls disappeared into Mary Ella's room. Before long, I noticed there was an eerie silence emanating from that room with a closed door. Every mother knows, when the silence gets deafening, it is time to go "eye-ball" the situation. I walk in and Addy was sitting at Mary Ella's table, grinning ear to ear as Mary Ella was adorning her with every sticker she could possibly find. Mary Ella looked up and said, "doesn't she look pretty mom???" Although Addy does not speak, her face totally concurred with Mary Ella's assessment of the situation. I walked out and my mind kept fast forwarding to years down the road with them helping dress each other, putting make-up on each other, and giggling in the process. To end yesterday with that image in my head was definitely one of those Divine boosts God gives me as I'm continually reminded what a gift and responsibility these children are.
