Alliah

Today I decided to write about my beautiful daughter, Alliah. I took this picture of her as she handed out the programs at my little sister's wedding last Saturday. She is just too cute! Alliah is growing so fast. She's becoming quite the young lady. She'll be eight this August, but has the vocabulary of a 10 year old. Some of the things she says sometimes are just amazing. Yesterday, for example, we were playing catch outside in the front yard. She had her baseball glove and I was using her spare glove, which was much too small. I threw her the ball and she caught it right in the pocket. She gave me a HUGE smile and said, "Did you see that, Mom?" I said that I did and that she did a great job. Before throwing me the ball she said, "Okay, Mom, now let's see if you can do it. I believe in you, Mom...just watch the ball..." and she threw it way over my head. When I turned to run after the ball I heard he say, "Aww...that's all right, Mom. Not everybody catches every ball; you can try again." I asked myself: Now who's the adult and who is the child? I wonder what she'll be like when she's 10?
