Compassion


I saw this at a second hand store about two years ago and had to buy it because it reminded me of Elia. I also love ducks and all kinds of birds and well, my pen name is Momagoose. :) The girl here reminds me of Elia because of her compassion and empathy for people, animals and even inanimate objects. She has the biggest imagination and is very tender towards animals of all kinds. She even loves flies! 
Today we went to the nursing home with our co-op for the second time. Elia did not want to miss out on this trip because she loved it so much the first time. On the way there she asked if we could go as more often without the co-op, like any time we wanted to. I said “yes, we can.” She then said “does it cost money?” My heart exploded... to her it is so fun that she thought it costed money to go. I love watching this girl live life. She is deep, kind hearted and so very genuine. ❤️ love you, Dolly!

Dresses are my Enemy

One day a week, just one, I try to get Elia to wear a dress. Sundays for church is the day. This past Sunday I showed her the dress, leggings and sweater I had chosen for her to wear and left the room. A few moments later, she walked out in utter play clothes. She pleaded with me to not make her wear a dress tearfully screaming, "DRESSES ARE MY ENEMY!" 
I said "why are dresses your enemy, honey?"
She said, "dresses are pretty and pretty things are my ENEMY...seps (except) you, Mommy...and Nana."

Be still my heart! She immediately caught herself and realized I am in the pretty category along with her sister. 

Love you more than all the dresses, Dolly!
