Repeat After Me

Abby (3) is in the "repeat after me" stage of learning how to pray. The last few nights that I've prayed with her, she's been changing my words. It goes something like this:

Me: Heavenly Father, I thanks thee....

Abby: Heavenly father, I thank thee....

Me: I ask the....

Abby: I ask thee....

Me: Please bless that I may sleep well tonight.

Abby: Please bless MOMMY that SHE may sleep well tonight.

As a homeschool mom, I am just so pleased that her pronouns agree!

Conversation with Bits

A couple of days ago Elizabeth asked, "Mom, what happens when you have too much throw-up in you?"

I replied, "It comes out."

Then Bits informed me, "Yeah, and you turn into an ogre."

It was all very matter of fact. Who knew?

P.S. Elizabeth and Bits are the same person.

Abby in charge...

If you know me, you know that I laugh. A LOT! So I found this conversation hilarious...you may not.

Abby: rummaging in the pantry...presumably for marshmallows.
Me: Abby, get out of the cupboard.
Abby: I need to get marshmallows for Bitsy. (yeah right!)
Me: Right now Abby.
Abby: Soon Mom. Soon I will get out.

Did I mention she is 2? Well, I suppose she will be 3 next week, but still! She thinks she owns the place!

So funny...

Elizabeth was just telling me why her ear hurts. It went something like this.

Bits: It happened when I fell down and hurt my self.
Me: When you scraped your wrist?
Bits: No, when I hurt my leg. You know, when I got a scrape and then a band aid was on and it then Jesus was by me and put new skin on it?

She cracks me up. Trust me, this all has nothing to do with the current hurting ear. And I wish Jesus would come put some new skin on me...like switching out all the crazy, post 5 babies, post 2 surgeries yucky stuff on my tummy!
