Ok, isn't she gorgeous? I was tucking her in last night and couldn't resist taking her picture, she looked so cute in her rollers and jammies, all snuggled up with her favorite stuffed animal of the moment. We have been reading "Ramona and Beezus", by Beverly Cleary. I was thinking she might relate to having an annoying younger sibling, since Hudson is so into everything right now, but last night we read a part where Beezus is really frustrated with Ramona's antics, and Kennedy was pretty much horrified by Beezus thinking, " I really don't like my sister!" I was so proud of what a sweet, sensitive girl she is. I really am so lucky to be her mom, and I'm sorry to say I take her for granted a lot of the time. She is such a happy girl, and genuinely tries to be good all the time. She understands reason and really doesn't get worked up hardly ever. She tries so hard to be a good big sister to Hudson, always rushing to get him a toy/treat when he is crying. On Sunday morning, I heard Hudson start talking, letting us know he was awake. I layed in bed, hoping for just a few more minutes of rest, and after a minute, I heard him laughing. I went into his room, and there was Kennedy, in his crib with him, both of them just giggling. What a joyful moment for me. I love that they love each other so much. I was worried about that, seeing how Kennedy was queen of the castle for four years before he came along and stole a lot of her thunder, but she has never once been anything but understanding of his needs and loving and protective of him. And she is so smart! Her preschool teacher told me she got the best score ever on her kindergarten screening test last week, and she loves learning. Last night she wanted to watch Conference again for family home evening. We settled on elder Bednar's talk...gotta love DVR - I've always thought it was a gift from Heaven - that is proof. Anyway, my heart is bursting over Kennedy right now, so I thought I'd share. Last night she told me she loves me all the way to space. Lucky me, indeed.
OH Shelli, this was really a sweet thing for me to read today, It is hard to live in the moment and always appreciate our kids, but it seems that you do it, and do it will..
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
You are lucky. And so is she! That was very sweet and nice to hear about her little personality.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to tell Kennedy that Elder Bednar's son and his wife live in our ward. We even had a special fireside with Elder Bednar himself!! It was pretty cool, I think you should come and visit us, don't you?
