Little Miracles
The smallest little miracles, the meaning of Christina's words - I notice them now like I never did before. To know in my heart that she is in tune with the world around her is a miracle within itself. Some days I am not quite sure that she is understanding much of what is being said to her. Listening to her babble like an infant most of the time makes me wonder... She does however, say a lot of things that have TRUE meaning. Of course everything she says has meaning to her, but I am talking about the things that myself and others can understand. She is such a miracle. Every single word is like a melody...that little girl gives it her all and tries SO hard.
Tonight after her bath, Chris was trying to get her dressed while all she could do was kick her legs and scream. It ended up being a huge tantrum. She kept saying "Aye-yull! Aye-yull!".As I am trying to help Chris figure out what she wants (took me 10 minutes), it clicked- She just wanted her Ariel pajamas! I pulled them out of her dresser and after I put them on, she was a happy little mermaid girl :)
She had difficulty calming down and falling asleep. So, as I laid with her in bed, I sang this song... I can't help but wonder if she knows how proud I am of her. I'm pretty sure she makes herself proud! She gives me so much hope, so much joy, so much love. My miracle girl... <3
Sweet little girl. I love that she made her desires known...even through screaming... it's one step closer for her. I'm thinking about you and your family today... hope you are enjoying/have enjoyed the last few days together:)
