During Sawyer's night time routine he dropped or misplaced his favorite blue blanket. It's one that has colorful polka dots on it. He has had this blanket since he was in-utero. I don't recall who gave this particular blanket to him but he made quite the tender-hearted fuss about it tonight. He said, "Someone must have really loved me." I told him they sure did and that they gave it to him while he was still in my tummy. I told him it was from my baby shower for him. Puzzled, he asked me what a baby shower was. I explained that it was a sort of party in his honor where people gave us gifts for him... things that we would need for a baby. Still perplexed he asked, "How could you have a party without me there?" I smiled. We talked about it a little more.
Then, as I was saying buenos noches, I called him "Angel".
He asked, "Why do you call me 'Angel'?"
I said, "Because you're my angel. I believe you were in Heaven before you were given to me."
Slightly worried, he asked, "When I was dead?"
"No, Honey. I believe your spirit was with God before your body was created."
"Oh.... I was thinking that God would throw me up in the air in heaven. Then I would bump, hit a door. It would close and be dark and I would wait."
"Until you were born?"
"Yes."
I love how his precious mind works. God is beyond-words amazing. I still can't believe that I get to be this kids mom. He makes me so proud!
