Sweetheart Mia

Last night, we met some friends of ours for dinner at a new Mexican restaurant.  As we were leaving, the host gave the kids a balloon with teddy grahams tied to the bottom.  Both of my girls were thrilled.  As we were driving home, I noticed Mia's kept rubbing against the ceiling, so it was just a matter of time before it popped.  I asked her to let me hold it the rest of the way home which she readily agreed to.  I reminded Lily to hold hers down so it wouldn't rub the ceiling and pop.  As we pulled into our neighborhood, we hear a loud pop as Lily's balloon rubbed the ceiling one too many times.  By the time we got to our driveway 30 seconds later, she was bawling (I will say she was pretty tired too) about her balloon.  I couldn't get her calmed down to unbuckle and get out of the car.  As soon as Ryan let Mia out of the car, she made a beeline around it.  I said "Mia go on inside so I can get Lily."  Mia replied "I coming to give Lily my balloon.  Here you go Lily.  You can have mine."  As Lily took it, she stopped crying and said "Thank you Mia."  I scooped her up and told her how sweet she was, and that I really appreciated her giving Lily her balloon.  I wanted to start crying at how sweet that little Mia is!  What a sweetheart!
