"But I thought..."

Today as Allana was lying down to take a nap, she asked me who was coming to babysit her this afternoon. Then she asked, "Where are you going?"

"To volleyball practice." I answered.

"Why?"

"Because I'm a volleyball coach."

Tears started welling up in her eyes, "But I thought you were a Mommy!"

I gave her big hugs and reassured her that my first job is being her mom. It made me smile.
