A Child of God

Lately, I have been amazed at the things Camilla has been learning. She surprises me every day! Yesterday afternoon, we were upstairs playing in her room and singing songs. I started singing "I Am a Child of God" which is a Primary song, and one I used to sing/whisper in her ear when she was a baby on those late, hard nights. So I began:

"I am a Child of....."

And Camilla said "God".

"And He has sent me..."

And Camilla said "Heee". (Here)

"Has given me an earthly...."

And Camilla said "Home".

"With parents...."

And Camilla said "Tind an Deee" (Kind and Dear)

And so we continued through the whole song, her finishing my sentences with the words that needed to go there. 

"Lead me, guide me.."

"Wat" (walk)

"Beside me, help me find the..."

"Wayyyyyyyyyyyy"

"Teach me all that I must do, to live with Him..."

"Tum Dayyyyyy" (Someday).

At the end she exclaimed "Ree-tee!" It is indeed a song that she sings in Nursery. It was just so sweet sitting there listening to my little almost two year old sing a song that testifies of where we came from and why we are here. One of those bring-tears-to-your-eyes moments.  I love that she loves praying with us, and loves looking at her Book of Mormon stories while we read together as a family. It's so special to see her enjoy those things.

We have also been enjoying the warm weather! Camilla practically begs me every day to get outside and play. She knows which way the park is, and if I'm not careful will take off running down the sidewalk exclaiming "Park!!". It's nice that the snow is melting and we are able to enjoy the slide and swings again. We are very looking forward to the Summer and long afternoons at the spray park!

We visited the Doctor today and he said it would still be a while before baby comes. We are on the countdown! Ten more days to go!
