Chats with Sophie

This morning, in the quiet of Parker and Cooper away at school, Sophie grabbed my hand and sat me down on the couch. Then she went and sat across from me on the comfy chair, crossed her legs and began to chat. It wasn't her words she knew, but her adult chat, she kind of babbles in a way that adults sound like and uses hand gestures that she sees adults use. She was having a chat with mommy. I loved it. I asked her if she would sit across from me like this 20 years from now after getting home late and chat with me. She said yes. Then she went and grabbed her baby doll to rock while talking to me. I asked her if she would come visit me once she had babies and still sit and chat with me. She smiled and said yes and continued to rock her baby. For some reason I never really visited with my parents much or stayed up late catching up with them, I don't know why, it just didn't happen. But Sophie and I had a nice conversation, and I hope I got a taste of years to come.
