the innocence of Kayla

we had our three grand daughters last night and when Kayla was about ready to leave I pulled her into my arms and she gave me a very nice long tight hug

I sang in her ear softly

you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray

you’ll never know dear how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away

and she pulled back slowly and said to me as she put her hands to her heart

“Nana you just made my heart smile”

I grinned and said “you always make my heart smile”

 

a bit earlier we were getting her dressed as she said her jeans were too tight and she didn’t want to wear them

well as her mom was coming to get her I helped her put her jeans back on

and I said they were too tight

She said to me “I’m just fat”
I said “No Kayla you are not fat, you are just a little bit chunky”
and she said “The kids at daycare say I am fat”
I said “Oh that hurts me and I hate that they say that to you.  What do you say back”
and she shrugged and said “I say Thank You”

my God this child is so innocent and wonderful.

I would love to hold her and never let go

No I don’t love her more than the other three grandchildren but Kayla is just at the most precious age and still so innocent and sweet in her way of thinking.

I adore my grandchildren

They are perfect gifts from God.
