This morning Emma decided to get Halie's guitar out and start strumming. While she has no idea how to play, she did a wonderful job. I was enjoying it. Then, she put words with it and made it all explode. Boo was sitting next to her as she played and was humming along. It would have made the sweetest picture, but instead I was sitting here typing out the words before I forgot them.
"When we knew you were going to be born, my sister was so upset. She thought you would get all the attention. BUT now you can do all kinds of things. You can sing. You can dance. You can jump. You can talk. When we got you, little Boo, it was all really good. It was all really good. Ohhhh yyyeeeeaaahhh.You're gonna grow up. You're gonna be great. When you put your little fingers on my nose and go oink, oink, oink it makes me smile because you're super cute. I love my baby sister. She's gonna grow up to do so many great things. I was worried before you were born, but now I could spend my life with you. You are the person that I know is great for us."
YOU ARE THE PERSON I KNOW IS GREAT FOR US. I hope all 3 of our girls know that they are the people that are great for us and they bring so much joy into our lives.
Then came one about Mom:
"My Mom helps me be like this. She's the only one that I know that would be so nice and I love herrrrr."
I love that Emma loves her little sister enough to make up songs about her. It's little moments, like this one that help you realize that while we aren't doing everything right as parents....we are obviously doing something right.
