The good in Hannah shines through just when I need it to. I’m grateful for this because sometimes I have to be reminded that my child IS good and IS sweet and not always the crazed 7 year old I think she is or make her out to be. I went through some old blog posts and found these gems from when she was younger.

4 years old:

me: aw Nettie I love you so much
her: I love you too.
me: You’re such a beautiful little woman
her: *nods*
me: You’re my precious little baby
her: And you’re a grown up.

5 years old: (on me getting pregnant)

“mama, do you have a baby in your belly yet?”

“nope honey not yet”

“well I hope God puts one in there soon and I hope it’s a girl. If it’s a boy, that won’t be right”

“um, it would be right. whatever God wants to put in there is what’s right. He doesn’t make mistakes”

“but I ordered a girl!”

I remember having these talks with her and I’m so glad I put them here to look back on. We used to lay in bed at night and just talk before we went to bed. I need to start doing that again. I miss how we used to be.

And as promised, a HAPPY Hannah in her dance stuff.

Let’s hope this lasts!

And my poor baby girl…she’s all sicky and yucky. She’s getting better little by little daily but I still hate to see her all mopey and whiney.

She still finds time to be cute though because she can’t help it. I speak the truth.

So my week is going better now and I’m SO thankful for all of your input and ideas. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without this online community that I’m a part of. I’m truly blessed.
