Over the next few posts, I would like to tell you about each member of our family. First up, Lindsay Elise.
This weekend we will celebrate Lindsay's 2nd Birthday by partying Elmo style. This Mama is having a hard time believing that her baby is going to be two!! Lindsay loves to talk, sing, and dance. Her rendition of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star will make your heart melt. She is affectionate, loving, reserved but fiery, tender-hearted and just flat-out hilarious! I love it when she nods her head in agreement as she is trying to convince me to do something for her. It's like "come on Mom, that's a great idea".
The other day while I was getting her breakfast ready she went and got Lillian (her baby doll) and put her in the high chair. Then she found a bib to put on the baby and tried to get a spoon out of the drawer for her. She was going to give Lillian her breakfast!!! I finally convinced her that Lillian could just sit on the table and watch!!
It is so awesome to see her bow her head when we pray with her at the dinner table and at night-night time. She squints her little eyes and keeps them shut the whole time. What really cracks us up is when she keeps her eyes closed while she is putting a bite of food in her mouth or taking a drink during the prayer!!!
She wants you to kiss her boo-boo every time she falls down or bumps into something. And I am willing to kiss everyone of them!! She is starting to show compassion for others by her willingness to kiss their boo-boos.
Our prayer for Lindsay is that she would fall in love with Jesus. Compassion is just one of the many things that she will be taught by Jesus. I am excited to see what her next lesson will be as He molds and shapes her into a warrior for Him!! That is so cool!
My baby is growing up so fast and so I know that "It Won't Be Like This For Long".
*Editor's Note: I am having trouble uploading images, so I'll try to post more pics after her birthday party.
