Guardian Angels

| March 26, 2016

I was putting Sam to bed last night and we got to talking, like we always do. She has been doing ok at best since her Poppy died. Not great, but she is hanging in there. She has been wearing a ring of his on a chain around her neck for a while and she has been a bit off, behavior-wise. Anyway, she asked me if everyone in heaven is an angel. I told her, no, I don’t think so, only certain people like those that have special jobs to do or people to protect. She came to the conclusion that Poppy is her guardian angel. I definitely think he is. I believe he is going to always watch over her and I think it makes her feel better to think he is too. I hope so. I’ll take all the help I can get protecting my little girl.

Shoes!

Sam tied her shoes on her own! Whoo hoo! She has been practicing for a while now and I have been trying to show her, but no luck. Then all of the sudden yesterday she just came down the stairs in her sneakers and they were tied! Let’s see if she can keep doing it or it was a lucky break. I hope she finally got the hang of it. Way to go, Sam!
