I was sitting here reading old posts to Mia, laughing at the silly things she used to say. It makes me sad to know I haven't kept up with this blog for Callie like I used to. Now, most of my thoughts are posted on Facebook...plus I don't have as much time on my hands with two girls as I did with just one. I like to think we're too busy making memories to do much sitting around. Tonight, for example, we're having family game night. We'll play Clue Junior for Callie and Life for Mia. We truly do have fun just the four of us.
Callie is just the sweetest little girl and there is literally not a day that goes by that I feel like my life is now complete having her in it. She fulfilled me and I feel in my heart that I was so determined to have another baby because I somehow knew I was waiting for her. Teresa Caputo says that we go through our "lives" with the same people over and over. Given how I've felt since Callie came to us, I believe that. I feel a connection with my little family that seems to transcend our time together, and we are all more content now that we're four.
This morning on our way to daycare Callie said, "Look Mommy! The clouds are pink! What is it you always say?" I said I wasn't sure...what do I always say? She replied, "Thank you God for making the sky so pretty." I have had a smile on my face all day because of that. She has been very inquisitive about God lately. For example, she asked why God made Cara's basketball game so far away and why she can't give him a hug. A recent conversation: "Mommy, when we were in the airplane going to Disney World I didn't see God. Did he move?" Oh...that girl! Love, love, love.
She still has the cutest lisp and I'm not in any hurry to see it gone. I love her beautiful sing-song voice. She still says lenomade and she calls us "missy" (just like she hears Mamaw saying). She loves to hold up the back of her hand to the side of her mouth, as though she's telling a secret...but she'll talk in a regular tone of voice and it's not necessarily secretive. She LOVES chocolate yogurt covered raisins and will pass up nearly any other "dessert" offered just to get her hands on some of those.
Callie absolutely loves soccer and dance and wants to start gymnastics. I am having a gymnastics party for her 4th birthday to see how she likes it. She loves to watch Bubble Guppies, Dora, Tinkerbell movies...and always Frozen and Beauty and the Beast. She had an amazing time at Disney World when we went in December. She's at the perfect age when everything is magical and I love seeing the world through her eyes.
