Sweet Innocence

I was having a discussion with Eva today about her new baby brother. She asked me, "Mommy, what color skin do you think the new baby will have?" I just told her that I didn't know, we would have to wait and see. She asked if I thought he would have light skin. It just made me want to kiss her. I absolutely love that she sees skin color as just another attribute of a Creative God. Same way she see blonde hair or brown hair. To her, it's no big deal! And because we have some friends who have adopted children of different races, she figures her little brother could just as easily have dark skin, too. No big deal!

I love her.

She then went on to tell me that when the new baby is born that she is going to cry. "But I'm not going to cry because I'm sad. I'm going to cry because I will be so happy. And I'm going to cry because he is going to be so cute!"

Me, too, kiddo. Me, too.
