Megan: "mommy why are you my mom?"
me: "I guess because Heavenly Father wanted you to be apart of our family."
Putting the question back on her I asked, "Why do you think I'm your mom?"
Megan: "Because I told Jesus I wanted you."
me: "You did?"
Megan: "Yeah!" (with her hands on her hips in her silly voice she said), "I told Jesus 'I want my mommy and daddy!' and then I just comed here."
I know this is her little self just trying to figure things out, but I couldn't help wonder after almost losing her while pregnant twice that perhaps it was her persistence that brought her here. She certainly is good at what she does...I find it very difficult to turn her down.

That is one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. Priceless!
Wow, so powerful these little ones. Perhaps she still remembers?! I wonder that sometimes.

Sorry for the three comments, my little decided it would be cool to push enter THREE times. Oh my...how embarrassing.

"Out of the mouth of babes..." What a precious little one. All your girls are so sweet, and I love how much you appreciate their individual personalities. I enjoy your blog so much, Amy. We need to get together. Soon! I've joined the blogger world: tlcfamily.blogspot.com. Drop by.

Such a sweet thing to say. How scary for you to almost lose her twice. She was definitely meant to be here.
Sweet, sweet story! It makes your heart melt!
That is priceless! Love your thoughts on her determination to get here.
I think that it is important to write down these little comments. What a sweet statement. I loved that you thought about that and made that connection of her determination in being with HER family!
lovely blog. i love your scrapbook pages too!
I love conversations like that, so sweet.
I, too, am glad you wrote this down! I love the photo of you squeezing each other.
I completely believe she chose to come to you and that you are the best mom for her. I love the moments when the veil is thin, or the ones when they're just plain adorable.
Thank goodness you documented this cute conversation before you forgot it. That is so sweet, but so completely "megan" that I am not surprised. She is adorable and I love the notion that our children CHOSE us. Now you'll have to remind her of this fact once she is 15. Ha
That's about the sweetest thing ever! What a treasure to have it written down.
so sweet.
Your kids are going to be SO grateful that you've recorded all these precious things that they say and do.
