Yesterday:
Eily woke up crying. I'm scared. I keep thinking of foxes and wolfses.
Do you want me to pray for you so that you won't be scared?
Can it go over to me? Can it do that?
(Not sure what she means) I'm not sure?
Well, can you just go get your bible and read about it real quick and then come tell me?
You mean can I pray for you to feel better and then God will make you feel better?
Yes. Like, it will come to you and then bounce over to me.
(slight pause) Yes.
And I did. And she did.
Tonight:
Eily called me to her bed.
(in a very whiny voice) Mama, I want to name my baby Ilda when I grow up and I don't want to doctors to hand her to me and say, "Here's Ilda. Here's Ilda." I don't want them to say that.
Ok, tell them you don't want them to say that.
No, I don't want to say that to them.
Ok, I'll say it to them.
Thank you, Mama.
