Tonight I was at McDonald's with my friend, Jordan, who is also a fellow blogger. While there something Annabelle did caught both of our eyes.
A mother set her 8 month old down in the play area. I am guessing she was around 8 months old because she was sitting up, but didn't really crawl. Annabelle immediately started watching this baby. As she watched she moved closer and closer. First, when the baby was down to crawl Annabelle laid down on her belly like her. Then while the baby was sitting she sat across from her. Eventually, she sat down right next to her and was talking to her. We were too far away to hear but the next thing we knew she was getting up. She came over to the table, grabbed her teddy bear (which was her McDonald's happy meal toy), and went over and gave it to the little girl. The little girl was so happy and so was Annabelle. It was so cute because Annabelle didn't look back right away. She was so innocent in her giving. She wasn't trying to please Mommy by doing it, it was totally her decision and choice.
I am so thankful to be Annabelle's mother and see the compassion of my child.

I need to be more like Annabelle. Sometimes good things turn sour when they are done with the wrong intentions. But Annabelle clearly displayed something more beautiful. I love her(:
...and her mommy:)
what a beautiful, generous spirit!
Now that is lovely Danielle! Very wonderful : ). I am glad you can be her Mommy too!
That is such an awesome story! Just goes to show what Christ meant when he said we need to come like "little children". :)
Oh how sweet! Annabelle sounds like such a nice girl. I am so happy that you got to see that - she must be learning from a great mom! Keep it up!
