Forever

When Sofia and I are snuggling, she and I have conversations about various things such as the events of her day, her friends, and her favorite things. Almost every time we are close, she says to me "Mom, are you going to be my Mommy forever? Because I really want you to be my Mommy forever." I melt every single time. Sofia is such a sensitive, loving child who is never afraid to share her feelings. She is expressive and intuitive, absorbing the emotion and feeling of every moment. I am amazed and inspired by her openness and willingness to love freely. Sometimes, she struggles with her friends because she is hurt so easily when one of them may not want to play with her. Sofia really loves her friends and cares so much about them. She has begun to draw pictures for her friends and often wants to give away some of her special treasures to her dear friends. I am proud of her in so many ways, of the little girl that she is becoming. I am eating up every moment that she curls up in my arms and tells me that she loves me. She is the sweetest girl. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be her Mommy forever.
