I LOVE nap time with Sophia and not for the reason you would think, so that I can have quiet time to get things done. Nope. I love nap time with my oldest sweetheart for the fact that it's one on one time that I get to spend with her just chatting about the simple things. Every once in a while she will 'read' me (pages she's memorized) one of her Bible Stories such as 'Jesus Feeds the 5,000', however sometimes we just talk about Daddy or Peyton or her barbies. She has so much life in her eyes when she describes the thoughts in her head that it just melts me and makes me so proud to be her mom. Sophia always takes a nap in our big bed and then goes to bed at night in her little bed upstairs. It's special to her to get to sleep on Mommy and Daddy's pillow and she has actually begun telling me it's time to take a nap, which if you know Sophia, this is probably a shocker! We often lay facing each other, exchanging Eskimo kisses and fidgeting under the blankets until there is no longer movement and that's when I know she it out cold. Today she asked if I was cold and shared her special 'brown blanky' with me. She then got within an inch of my face, gently brushed her little hand along my cheek and said in a voice of certainty and comfort, "you're my Momma." We then fell asleep hand in hand.
My little girls are my heart and my everything! These moments are moments that I wouldn't give up for a million dollars; they are priceless. I feel like my cup is overflowing with blessings and I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed me with these two incredibly precious angels. With them, my life is complete:)
