Brown Bear, Brown Bear

I had a very special treat last night. I was putting Ava to bed (which is usually Daddy time, but he was working at the loft) and we were reading stories. Then she said "Ava read cories to Mama, " and she proceeded to read me "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?". She "read" the whole book... word for word! I was almost in tears I was so proud! That book has not been one that we've read a whole lot and I am totally impressed with her memory. Much, much better than her Mama's! Isn't God so cool to give us the such a fun gift of children! He knew we would get to delight in their little moments and celebrate those... even on not so fun days. I think I've posted this before but I just love this version of Psalm 139:13-16
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from
conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.
I think God enjoyed that moment last night too... watching his creation blossoming into a big girl, my daily prayer is that my life is such that He can enjoy watching the Mama too.
