The other night it was just me and the girls driving to go pick up ML. My E. started asking all sorts of fun questions and I absolutely enjoyed it. We were next to a motorcycle that had a guy and girl on it.
E. wanted to know if she could ride on the back of her boyfriends motorcycle - that was a quick NO.
She started talking about where she would work while in college - she wants to work at the mall and G. wants to work at Toys R Us.
She wanted to know how old she would be when we got her a cell phone - I said 16, ML said 13-14.
She asked at what age we would buy her a chihuahua - I told her 16, but then if she is going off to college then she would have to wait because mommy and daddy won't want to take care of it :).
Just some fun, silly questions, that were obviously important to her. Through it, I felt like a new chapter of my mommy book was opened and I was finding a completely new way to connect with My E. I have been thinking about the moment of the conversation and it completely makes me smile and I am excited as to what the future holds. Even though I am still deal with toddler hood, a new stage has opened.
This stage will be a great learning period for me and an enormous teaching time. My E. is starting to form her own opinions and thoughts. I must use this opportunity to impress our family values and Christian principles. We will never get this time back and I must use it wisely. I so look forward to more conversations with my girls.
