From the Mouths of Babes

It came back to me today on the incredible insight and understanding that my daughter has had since she could speak.  

This one time, when she wasn't more than 7, I picked her up from her afterschool program.  Getting into the car, I dropped into the seat as usual but hit my ear on a metal latch.  Blood started running from my ear onto my top.  I exclaimed "Oh no!  There's blood on my shirt!"  My little girl says "Mommy, your ear is more important than your shirt..."

Just the clarity, simplicity and profoundness in which she would sometimes make statements always blows me away.  

And today, at 12, while she is constantly acting her age (at least she's not acting more than her age, ya'll know what I mean), she is also constantly impressing her social studies teacher with her opinions and her ability to express them.

I'm very proud of her!
