Cinderella

There is a new song out by Steven Curtis Chapman titled "Cinderella". One of the lines is "all too soon, the clock will strike Midnight...and she'll be gone". Both girls have quickly learned this song and sing along with it. Tonight, on the way home from Awana, Katie told me what that line meant. "Mommy, that means that the little girl will grow up and won't want to dance with her daddy anymore". Pretty insightful for a 5 year old...then I learned that her & Grammy had discussed the song. I also told them that it is a song about little girls growing up and how that makes their parents (esp. daddy) sad. I told them that when they grow up they might move away from us...Alex quickly said "No Mommy, we won't ever leave you!". A few minutes later Katie informed me that her & Puppy (her future husband) will build their log cabin in our back yard! I laughed and said that I hope we are in a different house then because there wouldn't be any room to build a cabin. "That's okay Mommy, we don't need a big yard, it will be a small log cabin". Bless their hearts...but we do pray for wings to fly away at the right time.
