Eyes Wide with Wonder

One of my favorite things about motherhood is seeing the world through the eyes of my children. Everything is new, everything is fascinating, and every once in a while they say something that stops me in my tracks.

The other day Britley looked at me and asked,

"Mom, is the big sun circle huger than Dad?"

Her sweet little words continue to melt my heart.

I don't know exactly what she meant, but I like to think she was trying to measure something much bigger than size. Maybe she was comparing the warmth of the sun to the warmth of her daddy's love.

She's always been Daddy's little bit of sunshine. Her smile lights up his day, and whenever she's happy, sad, hurt, or simply needs comfort, she's quick to reach for his hand or climb into his arms. In her eyes, he's the one who makes everything feel okay.

She knows there will always be someone who believes in her, cheers for her, and loves her without condition.

That makes him pretty BIG in her little world.

And if you ask me, that's exactly the kind of "big" that matters most.
