  • Dear Aidyn-

    You are such a goofy little girl.

    I am totally in love with you.
    At breakfast today we were eating "chee- o's" and when you were "ah done" you started asking for some "min-it" (music) and one song specifically. We have a CD of the youth praise band and you love "Revelation Song"- you sing "oh-wee oh-wee oh-wee" when the music starts- trying to say "Holy Holy Holy".  That song and "Better is One Day" are your favorites.  You run around in circles with your hands in the air- but only for those 2 songs! SUCH a blessing to my heart. I love watching you praise the Lord- even if you don't really know exactly what you're doing now- You have such a beautiful heart.  I love how you say Jesus... "Jeeeee- zus"

    We pray every time we sit down to eat and you know I usually end with "...and bless it to our bodies"- sometimes you cut me off when I'm saying "bodies" to say "Ah-men". Haha! I love it.  You ask to read the Bible when you're drinking your milk from the sippie after bath time.  I love that you love reading it- and that we have made it part of your nighttime routine.  All three of us (four including Grae!) cuddle up on the couch to read about God's goodness.  We just finished reading about Adam and Eve leaving the garden last night.

    Also- I think you're either getting a cold or your cuspids are coming in... you've been so whiny today!  You didn't take a good nap at Kristin's yesterday either and were even more clumsy than normal- You were running around in circles and knocked your forehead against your toddler bed... then about 20 minutes later you were trying to climb onto our bed and fell again! That time you hit your right eye though- now you have your first black eye.  It's swollen and bruised... you look like you've been abused! I was crying with you by the time daddy got home around 6:45 because I was tired too... I hate working all night long.

    Just wanted to document the events of the last 24 hours... I love you, kiddo. Hope you go to sleep soon and get a good second nap so we don't have a repeat tonight! 

    Lots of love,
