Looking at the future

This morning when I was getting dressed, Ava looks at my underwear and says, "That's modest."
We have been having discussions about modesty lately, becasue Ava likes to modify her dress up clothes, and much of the time they end up sleeveless or even strapless for some reason. So we discuss what could make it modest, and usually she complies.
The other day in the store, we saw some cute dresses that were sleeveless. She commented on how cute they were, then said she would need to wear a shirt under them.
I am so glad that she is taking this in, and making it a part of herself.

Today, after her comment, I explained that after you get married in the temple, this is what you wear under your clothes. I told her that they help keep you modest. She smiled up at me, and said:
"I want to get married in the temple."

I want you to get married in the temple too, sweetie, for more reasons than you know right now.
