I sat at McDonald's this week and had a true "AHA" moment. Abigail has such a truly sweet and polite spirit. I may sound like I am bragging (Isn't that my job as her mom though?) Quite a few of you have seen that she does have her moments like any two year old. Honestly though, for the most part she is just a delight. I am SO blessed to be her mother. I watched other toddlers biting each other, pushing, screaming and talking to their parents in such a disrespectful manner. Right at the moment I was watching multiple children terrorize the play land Abby said, "Thank you for beckfest mommy. It's nummy.. mmm.... good!" Then a minute later she said "You want bite? Try it, You'll like it." Word for word that was my sweet Abigail appreciating her pancakes and wanting to share. That is her MO to be extremely polite and to say please and thank you. I could not help but share this moment with my blogger friends. I truly feel so blessed to be given the responsibility to raise such a beautiful soul. I hope that I can be the mother that she deserves. I am also so grateful for the gospel and the lessons therein which teach me to rear my child in righteousness. I would be so lost with out it. These are the moments I want to cherish forever. These are the moments I hope to be as good of a mother to her as my mom has been to me.
I promised Derek!
