Not My Favorite Color

My Annagrace and Abbie Joy have each adopted their own very favorite color that they are most committed to. Annagrace is a lover of purple while Abbie Joy is devoted to pink. Well, yesterday I pointed out an infant picture to Abbie Joy. I said, "Look there is a picture of you when you were a baby." Her response was, "That baby has a purple passi in her mouth. Purple is NOT my favorite color." Oh, that girl sure makes me laugh. I just told her that when she was a baby she did love her purple passi. :)

Milking

I love it when clear out of the blue one of my children will say something that takes me off guard and makes me laugh. Tonight Abbie Joy was on her bed looking at a picture book about life on an Amish farm. She told me that the cow was going tinkle. I got up to see what she was talking about. The picture was of a little Amish girl milking a cow. You could see the stream of milk squirting into the bucket. Abbie Joy knows nothing about milking a cow and thus came to the conclusion that the milk cow was going tinkle. Oh my goodness gracious! I thought it was hysterical. She is just too cute and innocent sometimes.

Father Abraham!!!

Tonight we were driving back from Lauren's piano lesson when Miss Abigail Joy pipes up from row three of the passenger van. "Mama, watch me" "Mama, I show you something." At this point she started singing, "Many Sons.....Many Sons Had Faawwther Abwaham." It was hilarious to me, because I have memories of singing that as a little girl growing up and of teaching that song to children at church, etc. I asked Abbie Joy where she learned that song. " I learn that at church." To her it was something totally new and exciting, and to me it is something as old as her Mama. I don't remember not knowing that song! Wow, we have sure come full circle here. I really never expected her to bust out with that song; she just totally took me off guard, and the laugh was good for me. Then we drove home with me entertaining her by singing all verses while swinging my arms and stomping my feet WHILE DRIVING. Yes, I was careful. :)

Talking to Jesus

This little girl is so funny. She does not miss a beat. Sometimes I won't even realize she is listening and thinking about things and then she will ask a question that clues me in on how perceptive she is. The other night I prayed for the little girls. Afterwards Abbie Joy said, "You talk to Jesus for me, Mama?" She realized that I was talking to Jesus about her. It was a sweet moment.

Turtle Head

This morning Annagrace took the turtle neck shirt I pulled out for her. She said, "You bought me another turtle head?" It cracked me up. She meant turtle neck. :)

Mama's Cooking

Today we are in the car and Gabriel says:

"Mama, I think there is something special about your cooking." I asked him what that is. He said, "You put a special ingredient in it called love." Oh my goodness! What a sweet boy I have been blessed with. Have I ever mentioned I love this boy? :)
