Every so often there are special moments. Moments that you wish you could freeze and replay them. My sweet little girl has given me two of those in the last week.
Marc and I went to the KSU/OU game this past weekend. My parents kept the kids for us. Sunday morning, I went out to pick them up. I told Marleigh it was time to pick up the toys, so that we could go home. She picked up her toys, then went straight over to Gigi, wrapped her little arms around Gigi's neck and said, "Thank you so much for letting me stay. I love you." She then proceeded to do the same thing with Papa. It was one of the sweetest things ever.

Marc has been gone on business all week. Kade has worked himself into a schedule of going to bed around 7:30 every night, which means Marleigh entertains herself for about 15 minutes. I always give Kade his night-night bottle in his room right before bed with the lights low. We were just finishing up when there was the softest knock on his door. Marleigh poked her head in and whispered, "Hey, Mom. You forgot his blankie." She then tiptoed into his room, and handed it to me. She gave Kade a kiss and whispered, "Night, night, Kade. Sleep tight." She turned around, tiptoed out of his room, and gently closed the door. Of course, Kade doesn't sleep with his blankie, but she didn't need to know that. She knew that she always sleeps with her blankie and wanted her baby brother to have his to sleep with. It made my heart swell.

I am so grateful for Marleigh's sweet spirit and tender heart. She has now fully embraced having a little brother, and loves him very much.
