Who's Your Best Friend?

Last week my mom shared with me that Adi had told her she was her best friend. This, of course, made her feel like a million bucks! So the other night at bath time I decided to ask Adi if Nana was her best friend. She replied, "No, Nana is my buddy." "Oh," my wheels were turning as I wondered who had taken the number one spot.

She had been playing with kids from church, so I asked, "then who's your best friend?" I was fishing for maybe Caedon, Max, Jonas... or heck, maybe she even decided that I was worthy of being her best friend. The response I received was the best response imaginable, "Jesus is my best friend!" She said it with such excitement and joy that I believed her and I rejoiced along with her, "that's Right! Jesus is your best friend!" I couldn't have chosen a better best friend myself ;)

Yesterday when I got home from work I gave Adi a big hug and plopped her down on my lap while she watched the end of her PBS show. I just love to cuddle and be close after being gone all day. I was simply soaking in the moment when she suddenly turned to me and said, "Oh. I forgot - I love you mommy. I love you so much!" My heart was melted once again by my little Miss Adilyn Rose as she turned to give me a grand hug. Oh how I love being a mommy.
