A couple of weeks ago Sadie ripped a page in my Book of Mormon. David tells a story about it here.
Well this morning I was sitting on the couch and was reading in the said book. Eliza comes up beside me to look at what I am doing. She tells me that Sadie ripped Mommy's book. I nodded my head and solemnly noted, "Yeah." Eliza then with concern puts her little hand on my shoulder and says, "Mommy sad... Its okay, Mommy, Daddy fix it." I said, "Yeah, Daddy fixed my book." Eliza goes on, "Daddy tape it. Eliza helped Daddy tape... Mommy Happy!" I was smiling through her darling comments and I agreed, "Yes! Mommy's Happy!" She smiles and repeats, "Mommy happy!" Then Eliza put her little arm around my neck and said, "Mommy, I love you," and then she ran off. I think that was the first time Eliza said I love you to me when I didn't say it to her first. Eliza has shown compassion and concern for others since she was an infant. She's a caring person by nature. Add that to her wild side and she is really quite charming.
