Everyone Needs A Someone

Well, it happened.

Several years before I anticipated, but it happened.

Paige called me into her room last night with sadness in her voice:

"Mommy, where is my someone?'

"What do you mean?"

"You & Dad have someone. Jake & Connor have somone. But, I don't have someone."

I realized she was refering to her room. That we all have "someone" in our rooms to share with and she has her own room.

"Well you have your bears and Paigey doll."

"But, they don't talk. (pause) I want a sister."

"Oh. (my heart drops) we-ll. You have Mommy, I will be your friend."

"But, I want someone little like me." She says as she makes hand motions of someone small.

"When can I have a sister, Mommy?"

"Well, we'll have to see, honey." I say.

She's FOUR! I honestly didn't think she'd feel the need for a sister so soon.

I thought about telling her how girls with sisters would do anything to have their own room, but I didn't think four would get that. I'm not ready to have another baby, but God bless this precious girl, she sure had me in the palm of her hand!
