Good Night Moon

After a 2 1/2 hour battle trying to get Miles back on some sort of better sleeping pattern and a lot of crying it out, Justin and I were finally trying to fall back to sleep at 2:00 a.m. Then, from Sophia's bedroom we heard screaming, "Mom, Mom, MOOOMMMMM!" At this point, no one really knew what was going on, i expected that she was just having a bad dream. But when I opened the door, she said,

"Come over here and look, Look at how beautiful the moon is tonight."

The way sophia's new room is set up, she can see right out the window, especially when the blinds are pulled up. She must have woke up in the middle of the night to see the full moon with a cross like highlight around it. It was beautiful.

I have always loved that Sophia has an old soul and loves all things from nature. I am definately amazed that a 4 1/2 y/o little girl can take the time to see trees for the beauty that they hold, can look at the sunrise and take the time to think, "this is so pretty." She loves the outdoors, no matter if it is raining, snowing, or sunny. She looks at everything in such a child-like way that i love to see and hear what she is thinking.

She told me last night before we went to be that,
Sophia: "The night before last night, i saw a running star."
Mom: "Do you mean a shooting star?"
Sophia: "Yes, I wanted to make 2 wishes on it, but it was gone too fast."
Mom: "What did you wish for?"
Sophia: "Mom, it is a wish, you cannot tell anyone if you want it to come true."
and with that conversation we went to bed.

I can only hope that she continues to see the simplicity in life, finds beauty in all that she sees, and continues to wish on shooting stars.
