Tonight we were sitting at dinner and I started singing the "I Love You" song to Jorgan. (There are several different versions of the "I Love You" song, and this one was to the tune of the primary song, "Mother, I Love You" but instead of saying mother, I say their name)I usually sing it as dramatically as I can while doing little peek-a-boo sections occassionally. The kids usually think it's pretty funny, and I always sing it with only one name at a time, and kids like to hear their name, so it's usually pretty entertaining for them.
Tonight after I sang it to Jorgan, then Rachel of course said, "Sing it to me next!" Then when hers was over of course Elizabeth said, "Sing it to me now!" When I was done singing to Liz, I looked at her and she started crying. That was not the emotion I was going for, so I asked her what was wrong. This is exactly what she said:
Mom, sometimes you cry when you feel happy
Oh, boy! What a sweet little girl. She was crying because she was happy that I loved her! It was amazing for me to see her feel emotions like that. We snuggled for a long time and she gave me a sweet kiss. I felt the spirit so strong through her sweet innocence. If only we could all love like children love! This world would be a much happier place!
I love my sweet Lizzie! Thank you for being so tender hearted!
