Granny and I finished my daughter's life book earlier this week. Her life book describes how she was adopted and became a part of our eternal family. Her book describes Dad and I getting married in the temple, adopting her brother, and having more love for another child. Then, how she came to us and was sealed in the temple and received a baby blessing. Granny had a chance to read it to her a couple of times before leaving town, and we've read it to her at least once.
So today, she hasn't been listening, and has been in a little bit of trouble today. Our family had a fun day, but we were very ready for it to be bedtime tonight. She gave me a kiss and hug, then started to walk away.
As she did, she put her hand on the bed post and very slowly said, "I was born, so I could go to the temple with you."
"What was that?"
She looks at me with a smile and with more confidence says, "I was born, so I could go to the temple with you. And you are a princess."
"Come here ... come here." As I held her on my lap, "I am very glad you were born."
"Yeah." (with a smile)
"And I think you're pretty wonderful."
"Yeah." (more smiles)
And before she escapes, "And even when I'm angry because you're disobedient, I will ALWAYS love you."
"Can I go now?"
"Yep, go to bed."
