Innocence

We are playing the waiting game here...waiting to find out if this is a pregnancy. Olivia has said and done some precious things, lately. I have to write them down somewhere.

Olivia has been talking to the embryos. The other day she gently leaned into my belly and whispered, "Do you want to play kick ball?" My heart melted.

We snuggle a lot here at our house. Olivia has been especially wanting to lay tummy to tummy, so that in her words, "I want to keep the embryos warm, Mommy."

Just a few minutes ago we were snuggling for quiet time. She ducked under the covers and lay her ear on my tummy. "Mommy, they're talking to me." I asked her what they said. "It's a secret, Mommy." She leaned to my ear and whispered, "They said that they love you and me." I asked her to tell them that we love them, also.

What innocence children have!

At playgroup this morning, I watched Olivia take care of a new 2 yr old in the group. She was teaching her how to bowl. Olivia kept the little girl at a distance from the balls and even held her hands at one point. I told her to let go of her. "Mommy, I don't want her to pinch her fingers." She picked out the color ball this little girl wanted, toted it to the ramp, and set it right on top. She let the little girl push it down. The girl's Mom and I were watching them and laughing. Her Mom asked if I had any other children. I said no but hopefully soon. Her Mom said, "Wow, she's gonna make a great big sister." I think so, too.

I just read a little devotion and the verse was from Psalm 139:14 "I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." It says that if we want an example of God's creative handiwork, look in the mirror. Well, all I have to do is look at Olivia and see the masterpiece He created. Thank you, God.

On a side note...Olivia would play dolls all day, if I let her. If she wants me to play with her and her doll family, she tells me that their family is Vegetarian and they only eat fruits and vegetables. So funny. She knows what Mommy likes. :-)
