Adilyn got a new Barbie movie called Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. In the movie, the princess has a royal birthmark which looks like a crown on her shoulder. Adi decided that she should have a birthmark too. Convinced that she must also be royalty, she found a marker (luckily washable) and drew a crown on her shoulder. But it didn't stop there.
Somewhere along the line she shifted from birthmarks to tattoos. She put fruit on her other shoulder and on her chest was something that looked like a little lamb to me. I asked what it was and she said it was Jesus' hand.
I was surprised that she did this all on her own, proud and so impressed that she would even think of having Jesus' hand on her heart. She then drew a little dude next to the hand and said that was Jesus.
Her final tattoo was one that I see often. The cross. The symbol of what Jesus did for us. I used to wear a cross necklace when I was a teen and knew it was special, that it meant something but I honestly didn't know the depth of it all. I'm not sure how much Adi knows or understands but I do know that she thinks about God and Jesus on her own, without as much of a mention of their names from me and I know she's on a path to knowing them well.
That makes my heart happy.
