This afternoon, Natalie was suppose to be "resting" in her room. She was having a tough time going to sleep. I was going to be helpful, and was about to go lay in her bed with her. Natalie decided to come out of her room at this time. I walked in her room and saw that she had been "messing" with one of the broken window shades in her room. She has been "messing" around with this shade quite a few times this past week, and I have told her repeatedly not to do this because I did not want it damaged even more. Well, today Natalie decided to make the rip even larger and hang one of her little blankets from the ripped portion of the shade. At this point, I was not happy at all. I had a little "melt down." After my unhappy episode, she finally fell asleep. When Natalie woke up an hour later, she came out of her room, walked in the living room where Nate and I were, and she politely asked me, "Are you over it yet?" Nate thought this was pretty funny, and I do have to agree that it was cute to hear this from my 4-year-old daughter...even after being so ticked off earlier. Natalie knows how to keep us smiling!
Tonight, we had friends join us for dinner. Afterward, we came home and Nate gave the girls pudding pops for dessert. As Natalie and her friend were eating, they began a deep conversation. Her friend was talking about how she misses her great-grandma who died and is in heaven. Natalie then talked about how her Grandma Christy is in heaven too. She told her friend the story of the day that Grandma Christy went to heaven. From this point, the conversation went on to a discussion about how Jesus is God. Listening to the girls talk was pretty interesting. It is neat to hear young children speak so confidently about Jesus and His love for us.
