"You're beautiful, Adam"
Last night, Riley brought us laugh-out-loud laughter and sharp tears all in the same night.
As Kevin was correcting Adam, Riley got a little defensive.
She spoke to her dad sharply and with resolution. “Why you saying that? He’s a man. He’s handsome.”
And then to Adam, sincerely, “You’re beautiful, Adam.”
The tears came later, as Kevin was relaying that in her bedtime prayer Riley asked God to help her “think better.” It touched us to know that she’s starting to be more aware of her own challenges. Of course, Kevin spent some extra time in her room, letting her know how much we love her, how smart we believe her to be, and how much we believe in her abilities. Wow. Our little girl is growing up so quickly.
