"I Want To Marry My Daddy!"

So, this morning, while getting Ellie ready for church, she and I were having a little "girl talk". She told me that she was upset because last week Mary,who is a parent of a little boy in her room, had told her that Austin was marrying Kylie. She said she had always planned to marry Austin and that it was just really sad that he was going to marry someone else.

Now, I should note that I am 100% sure that Marry did not tell her that. Austin and Kylie are not even in the same class at school. But, for some reason, this is what Ellie told me.

Anyway, the best part happened next... I was trying to explain to her that she would find someone perfect to marry someday when she was older and that this really was not something she needed to worry about right now. She looked up at me with tears rolling down her face and said, "I just really, really, want to marry Daddy, but you are already married to him". She started crying hysterically and it took me several minutes to calm her down. I told her that she could be married to her Daddy for now if she wanted to and that we would share him until she met someone her own age. She asked Danny if that would be okay and, of course, he agreed! That seemed to make her happy and the tears stopped.

I am so thankful for my husband. He is the kind of man I can only hope my girls marry one day!
