I love you, mama

Here's a really heartwarming moment for me...happened while I was hanging up the laundry.

I drew Orange an typical house picture and got her to do some colouring in the kitchen (to keep her away from Apple, who was taking her morning nap). She's really into colouring now.

While I was hanging up the clothes, I started singing the Donut man song:

Picking up my socks

Hanging up the clothes

Helping with the dishes

Doing as I'm told

Just another way of saying

Lord, I love you...

Then out of the blue, Orange said, "I love you mama."

That was totally unexpected and is so sweet. One of those rewarding parenting moments.

I was thinking about it later and relating to my relationship with my Heavenly Father. He probably feels the same way when I tell Him that I love Him, too! I should do that more often.
