Walking down to the bus...

This morning as Hallie and I started down the driveway to catch her school bus we had a little conversation and I thought I would share it with you... Before I tell you about our conversation I should tell you I helped out in her class on Monday.. Hallie: Mom, my friends at school like you. Me: That's nice, why do they like me? Hallie: Well they think you are nice and funny. Me: Do you think I am nice and funny? Hallie: Well yes actually I do mom and I have been wanting to tell you that I really appreciated you coming to my school. My teacher really enjoyed having you help out because its crazy in there with all twenty six of us ya know. Me: Well I was glad to come help out. Hallie: Can you come every week? Me: Well no I cant. I have Addison at home so it is not that easy to just come in for the whole day. Hallie: Maybe we could send Addison to Grandma's or Nana's house for the MONTHS (she said months) that I am in school then you will be available to help. Me: Hallie that wouldn't be nice. Would you want to be away from your sister for that long? Hallie: Probably not mom...I think Addi would miss me way too much. Me: I agree. Hallie: But mom one more thing before I get on the bus today...I love you so much and you are the best mom. I always want you as my mom. I am going to do some kind things for you today so I can write them down and share with my class. (they are learning about kindness this week). Me: I love you too Hallie you are a very special little girl and I thank God for you every day. And with a kiss goodbye she hopped on the bus and waved to me out the window. It made my day! Children are such a blessing from God. I will NEVER take for granted the two girls God gave to me..as I know children are little miracles from Heaven and being Hallie and Addison's mom is a GIFT that I am so thankful for!
