We were in North Carolina for almost a week, while Jarom was working on a contract there. We were sitting down for lunch one day, little Camden turns to me and asks as I’m getting them all set to eat, “Mom, what is the most amazing thing you’ve ever done?” Well, by far, besides marrying my sweet and amazing husband in the temple, I said, “Having children.” She said, “No, the most amazing thing.” And I replied, “That is definitely the most amazing thing, having all of you!” She was happy with that answer, and we finished lunch and went on our way.
The next day, we were watching a movie in the hotel, and all of a sudden, I felt as though I should ask her the same question, “Camden, what is the most amazing thing you’ve ever done?” She replied, “Grow in your tummy and be born.”
So she has gotten it already, even though she may or may not fully understand, the importance of getting a physical body and being here on this earth. Children are absolutely amazing, and I need to remind myself to listen to them more, instead of telling them what to do so much. Thanks for the sweet lesson, Cam.
