I really do have the best kids

I've always been in awe over how incredible my two little girls are. They really are something special, sent straight from Heavenly Father's arms into mine. I could go into detail the story of their births and how wonderful they were, but I'd like to take a minute and talk about all the wonderful things they are doing now. Yes, I'm going to brag. :D

Miss J - at four years old, she's more mature than any four year old I know. From the outside, she's a beautiful little girl with almost porcelain looking skin. When I fix her hair and she's all ready to go, she looks like an angel. She's always willing to help and it's surprising how rarely she says no to anything. She loves to try new things especially the things that mommy and daddy do, like cooking or cleaning. Her eyes light up with so much joy when I tell her what's planned for the days ahead that it makes me look forward to them as much as she does.

Miss J is a great big sister. She's always there with her sister teaching, helping, or tagging along. She's naturally protective and likes keeping the peace. It hurts her to see someone sad or scared and she will put her arm around you and tell you it's going to be ok. When she speaks, she can rationalize almost anything in the cutest and most logical way possible. Her curiosity and desire for understanding is endless and while some of her questions are over my head, she never stops believing I know everything.

Miss A - at almost three years old, still surprises me every single day. I call her my chameleon because of her many different funny faces and attitudes. She's the spitting image of her daddy when he was young, blonde hair and all, and I absolutely love that. She has a determined spirit and a heart filled with so much love. She loves to suck her thumb and hold onto a blankie while cuddling with me. As she lays her head on my chest and looks up with those beautiful blue eyes, I can't help but love her a little more.

Miss A loves babies and making sure they happy, not sad. When I babysit, she always wants to help feed them or get them a toy. She also loves to watch movies and relax on the couch. Playing with her sister is one of her favorite pastimes and watching what her big sister will do next makes her laugh. When I play the piano, she's the first one beside me, wanting to play too. She never gets sick of me reading her books and will bring one after another for hours on end. When she sleeps, her face is calm and sweet.

My girls are amazing and I seriously, could not have asked for better children. Yes, they have their defiant moments, but those are minuscule and I easily forget about them. With my husband's and I's schedules, I bet most kids wouldn't do well. But our girls do very well and they're still so good! They help pick up their toys and clean the house and set the table and listen to what we say and they do a million other things! We're not forcing them, they want to help. I feel blessed more and more each day because of how marvelous they are.

My precious angel daughters, I love you very, very, very much. Thank you for being you. XOXOXOXO
