Ever since my brother got married, RaeLynn has been very interested in the whole marriage thing. She is always saying the most random things and wants to know everything! Well this morning I was getting ready for the day and RaeLynn said, "when I get bigger and live with a boy I will have a baby in my tiny belly."
My response, "RaeLynn, when you get bigger you have to get married in the temple to a boy first, then you can live with him. And you also have to be married to that boy before you have a baby in your tiny belly."
RaeLynn's response, "What boy?"
My response, "I don't know what boy, but when you are bigger and ready to get married you will know what boy. It will be a boy that will make you very happy, just like papa makes mama very happy!"
RaeLynn's response, " Oh like Tucker boy!!(Tucker is her neighbor friend that she has been playing a lot with lately! They are just too cute!! And he is the one that they were pretending to go to the temple to get married.)
My response, "Yes like Tucker boy!"
Then the conversation pretty much ended with RaeLynn saying, "And he will be handsome."
I just love my sweet RaeLynn. I can't believe how much she knows and that she is really listening to us when we talk about the temple, getting married, and other things about life. I am very grateful that Derek and Stephanie got married in the temple because that have made such an impact on RaeLynn's life and it is something that will she have forever. RaeLynn I just want to let you know that I know that the temple is such a special place and I am very thankful that at such a young age you already know that. I hope that you can always talk to me about what you are feeling and the things that are going on in your life. I love you so much!! Just remember you have a Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ that will always be there for you too. Again I love you and am so proud of you!!

Thank you for this little love note to your pretty girl. It has given me that rejuvenation that I needed. You are a wonderful person, and a fantastic mom. Thank you for your example! You help me realize how precious my children are.
What a darling little girl, and what a precious post. Keep up the great example...Your testimony will become her testimony until she gains one of her own! :)
What a sweet story! It's moments like that that Raelynn will remember years down the road - good job giving her those little nuggets of truth!
Arlee...you're making me cry! :) How sweet. I'm glad you shared that memory! :)
