I have to write this out now because I never want to forget how sweet it was. Tonight as I was putting Violet to bed the conversation went something like this...
"mommy when somebody is sad I can smile at them and then they can smile too". To which I looked at her and she gave me a big smile :)
I said "oh, you mean you will make them feel better by smiling at them?"
She then said "yeah" :)
I asked her "wow, Violet, who told you that?" Thinking she heard that at church or from an adult somewhere.
She said "Anybody (I love how she uses that word), I just made it up!"
Wow!! I'm SO proud of her sweet little caring heart thinking of others. It might not seem like much, but seriously, I feel so blessed when she comes up with things like this all on her own. I know that's not my doing at all, but God, giving her a happy and selfless heart. Most days it seems the opposite- so self driven, which is natural at age 3 of course, but when she says those things and figures it out on her own I know we are going in the right direction and I am thankful. Very happy and thankful for 2 sweet kids.
xoxoxo little Violet :)
