It is the end of a very long, very HOT day and the girls are both in bed- and it is not even 8:00 p.m. yet! With the thunder and lightning last night, none of us got much sleep, so everyone is super tired (me included)! Paul is at a church meeting, so I was left to man the night-time routine by myself. We brush teeth (we have to get those "sugar bugs"), read scriptures, say family prayers, Avery says her prayers, and then we sing songs. Paul, a lot of the time, does Avery's prayers with her and singing songs while I get Finley down. Well, tonight I had the pleasure... it is such a sweet time- I love it! The last song that Paul always sings to her is "Heart Shaped Medallion" by David Wilcox. It is the sweetest little song. The lyrics are:
If I had a spell of magic,
I would make this enchantment for you:
A burgundy heart-shaped medallion,
With a window that you could look through,
So that when all the mirrors are angry,
With your faults and all you must do,
You can peak through that heart-shaped medallion,
And see you through my point of view.
Anyway, I sang that to her tonight and she got all excited. She looked at me like "you know that song too?!" Then, as I was singing, she held her hands in a heart shape up to her eyes and then put them up to my eyes to "look through" them. Paul had told me before that she has done this with him, but I had never witnessed it myself until tonight. Neither Paul, nor I have taught her any motions to this song (we have to other songs, but not this one). She came up with that all on her own. Sweet, sweet girl! Moments like this make the rest of the crazy times, when I want to pull my hair out, all worth it!
