There is power in our spoken word (or name being called). Her name means wisdom. And indeed we are seeing this being manifested every day, bit by bit.
Last night, in her usual nightly bargain-not-to-go-to-sleep talk, she asked why some of her friends don’t attend full-day school everyday?
S: “Why is Gabriella (her best friend in school) on half-day everyday? I want to be on half-day and not full-day…Her mommy picks her up everyday…”
Me: “Because Gabriella’s mommy doesn’t work.” (And I was prepared for her to ask me not to work and be like Gabriella’s mom)
S:…. (pause) “Sometimes you also don’t work right. Sometimes we go holiday together right?” (with her eyes all lit up).
I was touched. Thanks babe. For understanding that mommy has to work. And I will spend every moment that I can with you when I’m not…
