I know I was going to start writing about the fifty wonderful thing in my life... but I'm taking a detour today because Rainee saide the most precious thing last night to me...
We were just about to read our books for the night and she wanted to know why it was getting so cold.... and I said winter was coming... which as Christmas, snow, Thanksgiving, being good for Santa and mommies birthday... All the while I was telling her what winter held, she was happy and smiley, but when I mentioned my birthday... she got really sad... and I asked her what was wrong... and she started drawing in the air... and I tried guessing what she was so sad about... then she finally just said...
"Mommy I don't want to you have a birthday, because you're going to be old, I don't want you to be old!" And she nearly started to cry... then I asked her, "Do I look old to you?" and she said the most precious thing....as she put her hand to her face to make little glasses...
"I don't see old."... she did this several times by getting really close up to my face and saying over and over.... "Mommy, I really don't see old."
So I asked her what old is... and she said, "Papa is old but you mommy, you're not old... I don't see old." When she said this it filled my heart with so much love... she is so precious... it's amazing what we see and what a child sees.... I may feel older and I may even see older in the mirror... but Rainee only sees her mommy. She doesn't see old in me. I'm still overwhelmed with the words she spoke.
What a wonderful way to wake up... remembering what my daughter sees.... she only sees her mommy!
