The first night with our little houseguest, we heard them talking when they were in bed.
Molly...I want to be a princess.
Naomi...I want to be a prince.
Molly in shock...Why would you want to be a prince?!
Naomi calmly replies...So that I can marry you.
Now as Rob and I are listening on the monitor, I think "Uh oh, look out Naomi. Molly is already betrothed;)"
Molly...Naomi, you need to make another choice. I am already marrying Anthony. We will live in a house full of toys and have a boy that is nice to me.
Naomi unfazed...Oh, ok.
Naomi...Why do you like the color pink so much?
Molly...It's my favorite!
Naomi...I like all the colors. I like yellow, red, purple, green, blue...
Molly...I like a lot of colors, but I like pink the best.
Naomi...Do you know God?
Molly...Yes.
Naomi...God loves us when we are sad and when we are mad...
Molly...God loves us when we are eating, sleeping, playing...
Naomi...He loves us when we are awake...
Molly...Which fairies do you like?
Naomi...I like Rosetta.
Molly...Do you like Vidia?
Naomi...No.
Molly...Why not?
Naomi...I like that she wears purple, but that's it.
Molly...Is it because you don't like her attitude?
Naomi...Yes. I like her purple dress, but not her attitude.
The next morning...
Naomi...Do you want to go to Heaven with me?
Molly...Yes.
Naomi...You can't take anything with you.
Molly starting to sadly weep...I can't leave Piggy behind.
Naomi...Ok you can take Piggy. We should also probably take a Bible.
Molly...Ok we'll take Piggy and a Bible. I would also like to take Anthony...oh, and Matthew.
Naomi...Ok.
Molly...They have a great ice cream parlor in Heaven. It's called Malley's. We can go there with my Uncle Denny.
Naomi...Ok.
Molly...I can't wait for you to meet him. He's so great! He's really nice and he loves ice cream.
Naomi...Ok.
My Uncle Denny died in May. What an impact he had on my daughter:)
