These days things can get a little frustrating at home as we are going into week 11 of this lockdown. But my special power is to find quality in the mundane. Here are some words my 4 year old says to sooth my heart and soul.
Bedtime chat:
Me: I love you always.
B: I love you to the moon. When I love you, I love your whole body, I love you to the whole earth, I love every leaf which is the shape of you.
Conversation after she didn’t listen to what I asked her to do:
Me: Where is the Bella who listens well, I miss her.
B: Well when you say stuff like that it makes me sad. I am still me. When you say where is the Isabella who listens make me think you don’t want me anymore. It makes me very sad.
I hug her tightly and say sorry for the words that hurt her.
Conversation after she explained something really cool in a scientific way in front of me and her Dad.
Me: Thats is super clever, where did you learn that?
Dad: Of course from me, Dad knows everything.
She adds in a small voice: …and the TV.
Her age does not define the wisdom of her words.
