Sweet moments

I just had the sweetest moment with both my girls! I was rocking Lexi and singing “I Love to See the Temple” before putting her down for a nap and Addison came into the room.  Addy usually comes barging in and is noisy and rambunctious which doesn’t help Lexi calm down for a nap.  But this time Addy saw me rocking Lexi and so nicely asked if she could sit with us.  I said ‘yes’ and pulled her onto my other leg.  Addy joined in in singing the last word of the song and immediately started singing the next song I always sing after “I Love to See the Temple”, which is “I Am A Child of God”. So we both started the song at the same time, like we were practiced, lol.  Addy sang it like an angel which is NOT like her.  If she sings along with me it’s usually in an irreverent and silly way.  While we were singing both girls were calm and relaxed which is also unusual.  I looked down and saw Addy’s hand resting over Lexi’s hand – they were holding hands!  It was the sweetest!!  The whole thing was the sweetest experience ever!  These are the moments I live for! No offense to Addy, she’s a two year old after all, but I almost never see this sweet side of her.  I wish I could have paused time and enjoyed it longer.  I miss that side of her so much! Ever since the “terrible twos” hit I've wondered if I’ll ever see “sweet Addy” again.   She's almost always silly, hyper, or cranky.  This may sound harsh but hopefully those who have had a child pass through the 2-3 year old stage will understand.  Please send me more moments like this!
