So lately, well actually since about Oct/Nov 2007 Emelia has taken it upon herself to pray for a daddy. Yes, you've heard me right! One afternoon when I went to Grammy & Pops house to pick her up after work, she met me at the door & announced "I need a Daddy & a baby sister!" No "hello mommy" or "I missed you" and not even a single request...NOPE... a double WHAMMY! A Daddy AND a baby sister! (I guess if you're going to dream you may as well dream big!) So you may be wondering "What in the world did you say to that?!" Well, the first thing out of my mouth was "Well, I guess you need to start praying!" And her response was "OK!" So...for the past 8 months at least 4 times a day she prays for a daddy. AND if we're at dinner, no matter who's there whether we know them or not, if the one who's praying for the meal ends the prayer...Emelia will promply say "You forgot to pray for my Daddy!" and we all have to bow our heads again & pray. Talk about a humbling experience as a mom!
The other day, Emelia was with a sitter while Grammy & Pops visited Owen & Mary Helen and Olivia (the sitter) was talking about her brothers & sisters. Emelia asked how many sisters she had & Olivia said 6! Emelia then asked "Do you have a mommy?" "Yes" Olivia replied. "Do you have a Daddy?" Again "Yes." To that Emelia threw her hands up in the air and declared "I been prayin' a long time & I STILL don't have a daddy!" Poor Olivia tried not to laugh out loud & said "Well sweetie, sometime when we pray God takes a little while to answer us" Emelia was none too happy with that & replied "Well, I still need a daddy & I guess I'll keep prayin!"
