Last night when all of her siblings were tucked safely into bed, after her Thanksgiving Feast, Caroline was ready to tell us in the quiet of the evening, when all eyes and ears were her's alone, about her day.
Don't you just love how babies coo and croon? Those beginnings of vocalization. The facial expressions, so darling. The way the little mouth works out the sounds as they eminate. In Caroline's case her big, brown eyes, looking me straight in the eye. So very precious. You wouldn't dare look away. During these conversations, babies tell you everything--you just must listen ever so closely. Last night that was the conversation I had with our darling Caroline.
It was our first, and it won't be our last. I look forward to hearing so much more from her, I just know she will have a lot to tell me. She is wise beyond her years.

You couldn't have put that any better :D She is truly an old soul.. so precious!!
She sure is Cynthia. Our former Pastor B. Shantz always said when he Baptised the tiny ones. "The philosophers believe that everyone is born with wisdom of the ages and as they get older they forget more and more". Somehow I find that to be so true. When you look in a baby's face and you are captured and captivated by their eyes, they seem to have that wisdom all right there! I am sure you too experience this and continue to experience this with Baby Ben! So sorry to hear he got the chickey-pox for his 1st Birthday. Give him a hug, and a kiss from "Nanny" xxxooo
She was at it again tonight! She sounds so cute with her deep Carly-like voice.
Talking up a storm!
I hope you were listening really hard, I'm sure she was sharing her pearls of wisdom! Love that baby of yours. Mom xxxooo
