My daughter is the cutest thing these days I just want to freeze her in this stage. Age 5 is pretty awesome I have to say. I love her questions and curiosity about the world around her and I love that she discusses much of it verbally with me. She is still very interested in birth and still asks to watch a birth video just about every day. She is becoming quite knowledgeable! She is very affectionate and lovey and regularly tells me she loves me. How did I get such a wonderful girl like this? She is just amazing.
We've been reading the Jesus Storybook Bible a lot lately and she's been asking lots of questions about Jesus. We pray every night together and she always asks for a baby brother or sister and a baby for her Mommy who really wants one. She also prays for my friend who is set to give birth any day. Recently she prayed, "Jesus help T and her birth and help her not to have any tear in her private parts." See, I told you she is quite knowledgeable! And thoughtful! What a great thing to pray!
We regularly discuss how Jesus is always with us and he hears us when we pray and loves to speak to us if we listen. Yesterday we got in the car for a bit of a long drive to do a prenatal check up (I must post about that soon as there are some exciting things happening for me with midwifery again). I asked her if she wanted to listen to music or watch a movie or play a game on my ipad during the drive. She said, "No, I just want to hear what God has to say." I wasn't sure what she meant at first so I asked her to clarify and she repeated herself. So I said, "You mean you want to ask Jesus to speak to you and listen to what he wants to say?" and she gave a sincere yes. So we did and right away she said, "I heard him." I asked what he said and she replied with "he said I love you."
It's so wonderful to see her not just learning about Jesus but experiencing him and his love. I am a happy momma.
