Beautiful Children

"There is only one pretty child in the world and every mother has it."
Have you ever heard this old chinese proverb? I look at my two babies everyday and feel such pride to call them both mine. I cant believe that Steve and I have made such beautiful children. I get stopped in Walmart while grocery shopping at least 5 times during an hour for someone to talk to Eme and tell me how beautiful she is. I just say thankyou and continue on. If I stopped to say thankyou to everyone that cooed or smiled at her, well we would be there all day. She went to a complete stranger the other day in the hair salon, then when the lady handed her back Eme wrinkled her nose and laughed at her. All the hair dressers laughed then as well. Even Trevor was a beautiful baby. I dont remember if I was stopped as much with him. He wasnt as outgoing as Eme is. When we were trick or treating at Downtown Disney so many people commented on her Raggedy Ann costume and her cute little freckles I gave her. I have to say, she was SOOOO adorable. You couldnt see Trevor's face under his teen wolf costume, but people were amazed with his costume too.


Now with Trevor I am constantly told that he is an old soul. His prek, kindergarten and first grade teacher have told us this and even a couple of friends. He is not your typical six year old. I have noticed that he can hold a conversation with most adults if they talk to him. To me that is impressive. And smart. WOW! He can blow you away with his reading skills. Probably the best thing about Trevor in my eyes is his loving spirit. He is such a mommas boy. I dont know how long this will last, but I am going to hold onto it as long as he will let me. He is also a great big brother. He gets on the floor with Eme and loves on her and makes her laugh.
So I dont know if that old Chinese Proverb is true, but I can tell you that there at least 2 beautiful children in our family and we are so thankful for them.
