Listening Ears

I have to remind myself that I have an extra pair of ears following me around that are soaking in everything I say. We were on our way to the grocery from Kylie's soccer practice. I heard Kylie telling Blake, "Hey you want to hear something great?" Blake, "sure." Kylie, "God gave us to momma so that she can teach us about God and all the wonderful things God make. Like he made the trees, that ambulance over there, and thank goodness McDonalds!"

Kylie you always make me laugh several times a day with all you say and do! I'm so glad that you are listening to me, especially about your faith and our God. I hope I can always be a good role model for you and remember that those little ears are always listening to what I say!

My little man

"I'm wafing on ewe, momma." Translated to I'm waiting on you, momma. I love the way my little man talks. He does this grown up little habit of putting his hands behind his back like an old man! I had put Blake to bed and then went to the laundry room to put clothes in the wash and hear him say, I'm waiting on you. I just melted when I saw him standing with hands behind his back leaning against the wall. When I asked what he was waiting for and he said for me to seeng (sing). Blake loves to be sung to and two of his favorites are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Jesus Loves Me." This is a nightly ritual that is usually repeated a couple of times. I think I will be sad when you don't ask me to sing anymore to go to bed!

Kylie's little creations

Kylie and Blake are at Granddad Lillpop's for the weekend and I've been organizing and cleaning. I ventured into Kylie's room and couldn't help but laugh at what I found in the toy box. Kylie you are so stinking creative! You are constantly "making" little creations with toys and other objects. You had emptied your toy box and made a little bed for your stuffed kitten. You took puzzle pieces to make the bed frame and then even used your night light for a little light. I love finding pieces of your imprints in our house! You are so creative and it makes me so happy. I hope that you are always creating things and that I always stop to find them.
