Rewards From Him




Psalm 127: 3
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.

Psalms 139: 13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Dear Sophie @ Three years old

Dear Sophie,
My beautiful little girl. You are such a joy! Lately you are so strong and independent. You don't want me to help you with anything. You like to do it all by yourself. You love learning to do new things like putting your shirt on, or your socks and shoes. You will sit there for a very long time trying to accomplish a new feat. You also have to pick out your own clothes most mornings. You are very opinionated about what you wear. Although you like to wear pretty clothes, you hate to have your hair brushed, and it is a fight to get you to sit still, and let me put your hair up. You love to tease people, and just the other day, you got mad at daddy, and so you came to sit in my lap. When daddy told you he wanted a kiss, you kissed me instead. When he said he wanted a hug you hugged me. You love to be chased and thrown around. You are a completely silly, giggly girl! You crack up over the silliest things! You also like to act silly and dance around to make other people laugh. You are shy when we are at the gym or around other kids. You test the waters, and stay close to mommy. That might change soon though, because last week I caught you jumping into the ball pit all on your own. You love to color, paint, draw, and use stickers. You take your time and try to color the page nicely. You like to draw things like circles. You are also very responsible with the markers, and will keep them at the table, and put the caps back on. You are such a little smarty-pants. You have known your colors since your last birthday, but now you also know your shapes, and can count to ten. You love learning new things. Your favorite food is any kind of fruit. You love all kinds, but especially like to have your own apple, and walk around the house eating it. You don't have a favorite toy, if you don't count lovey, but you like your dress-up stuff, your dolls, and anything girly. You like to walk around the house in your little dress-up shoes, but especially like to wear mommy's high heels and shoes. Your favorite colors are pink and purple, and if you see something pink, you say "pink matches to me." You love books. You love to cuddle and read them together. Your favorite books are "Wemberly Worried" and "Weekend with Wendell" by Kevin Henkes. You like Wemberly because she has a little bunny named Petal. Wemberly rubs Petal's ear when she is worried, just like you and Lovey. You are a daddy's girl, although you won't admit it when asked. He is the person you ask for when you are upset, probably because you like his big, strong arms. You often tell me that you are, "all growed up now." And I tell you to slow down! If I could use one word to describe you, it would be, "girl." You are a pink, pretty, princess of a girl!
I love you Miss, and all that you are! I am so proud of the little girl you have become! I hope you always remember how loved and special you are to us. You shine in our lives everyday, and make them brighter!
I love you lots and lots,
Mommy
