My Little Surprise

One of the things that I treasure most about Mia is that she never ceases to surprise me (Elise). She is very creative and full of surprises . They just delight me. She is 3.5 now and yesterday as the 4 of us girls were holding hands and walking into church, Mia stopped and pointed to a blue jeep in the church parking lot. She said "Mom what is that?". I said, "it is called a Jeep". She then said "Mom, I want to drive one of those when I get big. [pause] But I want mine to be orange". I laughed and just stared at her amazed. And I had the sudden desire to buy my daughter an orange jeep.
