...Parker patiently helps Lillie put on her shoes and even though they are backwards she insists on keeping them that way.
... I go to put the garbage outside and Lillie stands by the door waving and yelling "Buh byeeeee Meemeeeeeeee... Wuhhhh (love) youuu!!!!" as if I was going on a 7 day trip.
... Parker prays and thanks Jesus for "his sweetest mommy, daddy and Willwee in the whole wide world"!
...we lay in bed at night together and talk about our favorite thing that day and I am expecting him to say making cookies, doing the cool craft, school, the zoo or playing with friends and he always says it was "just sitting and playing with you Mom."
...every morning when I put Lillie's pants on and am trying to pull them up she wraps her arms around me and gives me a HUGE hug as she jumps up and down trying to get then on just right.
...Trev leaves in the morning and both kids stand at the front window with their little faces pressed up against the cold pane and as his car pulls away they are both in tears b/c they miss their daddy.
... on really cold mornings Parker moves over on the couch for Lillie to get under the blanket too and they both sit and watch TV with only their heads exposed.
...we're in the car jamming to praise and worship music and I look in the mirror at Parker and Lillie singing with all their hearts and waving their hands in the air singing "We raise up holy hands to praise the holy one.... who was, who is and is to come..."
...we are playing with friends and one of the friends bosses Lillie around and I overhear our normally passive and nonconfrontational Parker say, "Please be nice to my Wilwee she is only 2 and doesn't know."
...Parker gets into trouble and Lillie tries consoling him by patting his head and saying, "Otay Pahpah...Otay Pahpah (okay Parker)"
... I realize that Parker and Lillie are the greatest gifts I have ever been given and that God has blessed me more than I ever imagined with their unconditional love and laughter.
