Big Thoughts from a 3-Year Old Girl

Tonight Justin was working with the youth group at church, so I was putting both the kids to bed. Micah went down so easily; however, Madeleine was in a "chatty mood." Tonight's topic of conversation was, "Mama, Who Will I Marry?" Now, I don't know why she had this on her mind, but it seemed to be something she had thought a lot about. I had to spend a lot of time explaining to her that she could not marry her Daddy. This really upset her, so I told her that maybe God would send her someone someday who was like her Daddy. Before I left her room, she said her prayers. I asked her if I could grab my Flip video because I knew this was going to be a prayer that I would want to remember and share with her Dad. She said yes. The video clip below is 100% Madeleine. Please note that she also remembered to throw in a request for a dog and a fence. As you probably suspect, this has been a frequent request these days as well. Enjoy!
