Aniyah definitely has the gift of enthusiasm. The smallest things bring her so much joy and excitement, and it is so contagious. Everything holds so much wonder for her.
This summer has been very special. While mommy and Aria go to dance class each week, and gumps works late, mammy and Aniyah get to spend time alone together. For when gumps is home mammy plays second fiddle, but I don’t mind one bit, I love seeing the girls play with their gumps.
I gather things together that I know she will love. Things that delight her little heart and I can always tell it’s true by the laughter and the giggles that burst out of her.
Painting is always at the top of her love list. Many times she will ask me if she can paint just barely through the door.
She loves birds and everything about them, sights, sounds and the the looking to the heavens to catch a glimpse of them. She cups her little hand to her ear and listens with her whole heart for the tweet. tweeting of them.
I cherish my time with my precious girl, for I understand that each moment is a blessing from God, and I want to hold onto these memories. Taking pictures and recording our time is as much for me as it is for her. A chance for us to reach back and take in, a constant remembering through the snap shots and still frames of my journal.
The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God. Psalms 84:3
How cute!
