Singing Savannah to sleep

All is finally quiet here. My boys (2 yr old and 5 mth old) are in their beds and I just sang Savannah (3.9 yr old) to sleep with "My Mother/My Daughter" by Janice Kapp Perry. I love that song! It has so many good memories for me from when my mum and I used to sing it together while we worked in the kitchen (or when she worked and gave me something to do so I wasn't under her feet =)) Savannah's begining to look like she's about to turn 4 (funny, since she is!) but I feel like time is just going too fast. When I first became pregnant with her, everyone told me that there would be times where I would wish she would stay the same forever (that was definitely true!) and times where I would wish she would hurry up and grow up. That just hasn't happened! Even though she's so spirited and energetic and often defiant, I've never wished she would hurry and grow up. I always wished for a child with a back bone, and that's exactly what I have, and I wouldn't change her for anything!! I love singing to her and with her, and it's so sweet when she then sings to her brothers.

We were reading in Alma chapter 5 for our scripture reading tonight. I really felt Alma's wanting the absolute best for the people he was speaking to, and the love that would provoke it.
