Sweet Shaye-Shaye

The more time I have with the kids, the more I come to understand the meaning of the counsel to "become like a little child." Every morning I walk Shaye down to the bus stop, which is just around the corner at a friend's house. And no matter what kind of morning it has been she always says the same thing as she walks away. I stop across the road, and she goes across and into the house on her own. In the short distance she goes on without me, she calls back to me while I watch "bye momma, I love you" over and over! She probably says she loves me 3 times, yelling across the road as she goes. This always gets the morning on the right path, even if we started frantically trying to get homework done, hair fixed, and teeth brushed in time! She is such a blessing to all of us, and truly loves her family!
