The other day, Kallie went into her room, turned off all the lights, turned on the radio static and sat down in the rocking chair. When I checked on her, (about this point), she informed me that she was going night-night. Since it was about 10 a.m., I wondered whether she was serious or not--but left her to play regardless of the outcome. A few minutes later, I heard her singing through the lullaby routine: Angel Lullaby, Butterfly Song, and Teach Me to Walk in the Light. The last one is the song she always requests that we sing for FHE and lullabies--and she's been known to sing through all 3 verses while she's sitting on the potty.
As a mommy, I have to say that hearing my child sing that song really makes me think about what I'm teaching her every day. Is she learning the things that are going to be MOST important throughout her life? Am I teaching her that she has a loving Father in Heaven and a Savior who loves her with the most perfect, unconditional love? Am I teaching her all of the things that will lead her back to the Light? What a wonderful, sweet way to be given a thoughtful pause in my day.

What a cute story! She seems to me a lot like my Maddy. Maddy kept me going and surpried me all the time... love her and enjoy her!
Ok, I must be super sensitive to emotions right now because I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. LOVE THIS STORY!!! She is just the sweetest thing. From one mommy to another - thanks for sharing Amanda :)
