Don't get me wrong, I don't have favorites yet :) But Savana has just been so sweet this afternoon that I wanted to write down the things she has randomly said to me today. I need to remember days like today. Especially on days that are not days like today. I titled this post "Best Daughter Award", just because I asked her if she was going for the title of "Best Daughter."
This week has been insanely busy. We have started our summer schedule, which includes swim lessons, summer academy, summer movies, cooking classes and all the other camps that come with Seth and I being in Young Women's and Young Men's. So last night a neighbor so kindly kept the girls all afternoon, and then brought them home to bed while I was at Cub Scout Day Camp with Canon and Seth is on the High Adventure Hike with the Young Men. As she was leaving last night she told me that she was telling Savana that she liked some of the things I had made for the house. Savana said to her "You should tell my Mom that." I don't know what Savana was thinking when she said that, but I just thought it was so sweet that she said that. I felt like maybe she has heard me express my frustration with my house and trying to get it to look nice. It was nice of her to make sure that compliment was passed on to me. Then today she was sitting on the floor and out of the blue said "Mom, you are the Mom I always wanted" And then about 30 minutes later, after I asked her to do something, she said "OK, but I need something first." "What?" I said. "A Hug!" and she came and gave me a big hug on my leg! Isn't she the sweetest thing ever!!! So today, she gets the "Best Daughter Award." But only for today. Then they are even again. :)
