Singing Angel and Silly Molly

Today Jocelyn and Molly both provided me with moments that made me smile. The first instance was at Mass this morning. Jocelyn is finally picking up on some of the songs that we sing every week and is pretty excited to be able to chime in... VERY loudly and off-key. But she is singing her little heart out, and as much as it can pain my ears to listen to her it makes my heart beam. Jocelyn is truly praising God  with her singing - even out of pitch I am sure it is music to God's ears.

Then this afternoon and evening was the Molly circus show. I came outside in the afternoon to find Molly soaked to the bone in our neighbors' wading pool. No idea why she wanted to play in the water fully clothed, nor do I know who told her it was okay to do so. Molly was pretending to be a puppy in the water, and she sure was shaking like a chihuahua from being so cold and wet.

Then later the puppy play had not ended. Neither Ava nor Jocelyn ever went through an animal phase; Molly on the other hand spends the majority of her days pretending to be either a cat or dog. This evening she was wearing her towel on top of her pajamas while crawling on all fours and barking. A mother's love comes in many forms, and sometimes that form is smiling and going along with your toddler acting like a dog. It was an interesting and entertaining day, to be sure.
