As mentioned below, Sofia gets REALLY excited when she accomplishes a task, like putting a puzzle together, saying a hard word, etc. One day, Sofi and I were on the floor working on a puzzle. She was trying to figure out which places to put the different shapes (circle, triangle, square, etc.). Each time she got one right, I would clap and say, "YAY"! She would get so excited at the praise and would look up to make sure that Simon was watching. He would then join in on the praise and she would get more excited. She is most definitely a daddy's girl and loves Simon so much. And it makes her ecstatic to see him praise her! Now, we see her ecstatically happy everyday...
I've learned a great lesson from this experience. Although Heavenly Father's love is a free gift to each of us, how wonderful it would be if I took each moment to "get it right". Just as Sofi sought the praise of her earthly father, I await the day that we will receive our own praise from our Heavenly Father as he welcomes us with open arms.
