I have a Mother/Child journal book that I do with each of the kids. The book has various questions or entries that we fill out in response to one another. Recently Adelie's book asked the question "What are 4 things you secretly wish you could do?" Adelie's answers were so totally Adelie that I needed to share them here.
1. Have the power to heal
2. Be able to turn into a mermaid
3. Write books about Jesus then send them to people who don't know him
4. Have a giant foam block pit in our house.
As random and varied as these 4 wishes seem, they epitomize who Adelie is. She is my caring, thoughtful, empathetic, people-oriented, faith-driven daughter who loves mermaids and, yes, would love nothing better than a giant foam block pit in our house. I love all the things that make Adelie the special girl she is, and this list just highlighted so many of those things.
