I find it amazing that for over a year I have been waiting for my little girl to start talking, and now I sometimes wish that she would stop already. Ellie's vocabulary has been increasing so quickly that I cannot keep up with all her new words. This morning, I listened to her call to me from her crib. This is what I heard.
"MA! Done! MA! Uppie! MA! Uh-oh! MA! Ta-da! MA!"
Lia has been having her share of deep moments lately. A few days ago, she asked me where my grandma (my dad's mom) is. I told her that she is in heaven with Jesus. She paused for a second and said, "Heaven is in my house." I asked her why she thought so and she looked at me very matter of fact and said, "Because God is in my house." How does my 4 year old get the concept of heaven better than most adults? Amazing. Yesterday we were out for a run in the neighborhood. Lia told me that she had water in her mouth. I asked if she had taken a drink from Ellie's cup of water. She said no, but that there was still water in her mouth. I told her that water in your mouth is called spit. Lia said, "This is water in my mouth that God gave to me." I guess that would be the longer and harder to remember way of saying spit.
And for a funny bonus moment from today...
I was putting on a forced concert for Lia and Ellie (guess who forces me???) Lia pulls a chair up, makes me sing, and then claps and woo-hoos and what not. Lia was at a point in the forced concert that she stood up from her chair to applaud. Ellie thought that was an opportune time to move Lia's chair so that she could try to sit in it. I saw what was about to happen, but had no time to react as Lia hit the floor. I tried so hard not to laugh as I was comforting her, but I just couldn't contain myself. Lesson learned for Lia...always make sure your chair is still behind you.
