Wow, it's officially been a full year since I last blogged. What on earth happened to the time? My baby is not so much of a baby any longer. She's practically grown up - or so she thinks. Emma has decided that the world is hers and all within it are being allowed to share all of her things. Every time we see Mt. Hood, she shouts out: "my mountain!!" She refers to Disneyland as hers as well. She is sharing it with everyone - isn't she generous. One of my favorite Disney moments was when I was pushing her along in the stroller near the castle and she saw all the people wandering in and out of it. She looked at me and said: "my people are in my castle!" I loved that.
Emma has become very articulate, but I still don't always know what she is talking about. This morning she told me that she wants to watch something slowly. Hmmm.... what? She wanted to watch one of her shows (Little Bear) while she ate breakfast. But she wanted to watch it slowly. I don't know what that means, and I told her so. She just shrugged it off. This sort of thing happens all the time. She also recently asked me where her "beautiful cd" was at. I don't know what that is, and I told her so. She said: "it has Sleeping Beauty on it!" "Oh, THAT cd!" Connection made, communication successful. This time. Thankfully, she's patient with me.
Isn't it great to know that as children of God, anything we say to Him is immediately understood? No need to clarify for Father God. He even understands how we feel when we don't entirely understand it ourselves. And I am always struck by the knowledge that the tremendous love that I have for each of my kids is only a drop in the bucket compared to the vast, immeasurable love that God has for each of us. Wow! Blessing overload :)
