Pound-pound-pound-pound-pound-- the sound of Millie running as fast as she can. Breathless and hair flying, she rushes over to me:Millie: Mommy! Mommy! Come quick!
Mommy: What is it? (running back to the kitchen with her)
Millie: Look! Look! (throwing the vertical blinds apart) THE MOOOON!
Mommy (delighted with how excited she is to see the moon): Oh wow! Look at that. Millie found the moon!
Millie (thoughtfully): I want to get the moon and bring it for you.
Mommy: (touched and moved) Really? For me?
Millie: Yes. But not now- maybe later.
Mommy: Yes. Let's leave it in the sky for now.
OH MY GOD. I so wish this was my story! How endearing!
ReplyDeleteI know... B and I were speechless. He started it off though-- earlier that day they had been outside hunting for fall leaves and between the two of them, he helped her choose one to bring home to me. I think I'll keep 'em both.
ReplyDeleteAren't they just magical, these kidlets?
ReplyDeleteMagical is a good way to put it. :)
