But then it came!
And I felt a little sad.
I mean, this little girl's baby-hood is gone. She absolutely believes she can do anything her three-year-old brother can do.
But I just want her to stay little!
However, when I took her to nursery she ran in and found a stroller right away. We found an Elmo to put inside (which she calls, "Oo-oo-ah-ah" ... she thinks he's a monkey), and all was right with the world.
Mark stayed to make sure she'd be alright while I dashed away.
He joined me fifteen minutes later to tell me she didn't even look at him once.
I didn't hear a peep from her and her nursery leaders throughout the rest of our church meetings, and I was able to listen like I haven't in ages.
And the best thing about that day? When I went to pick her up, she shrieked, pranced over to me, and flung her arms around my neck.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
I love you, Belen Christine! You have made such a difference in our home and I wouldn't have it any other way.
