As we were walking in to Cafe Rio for lunch today,
So, yesterday Lora grabbed a marker off of my counter and said, "Mom, I need to make an omserbation." It took me a couple of seconds to decide that she was saying observation. So I asked her, "What are you going to make an observation about?" She decided on the snow. Then she said, "I will make an omserbation and then I will write down what I found." I'm pretty sure that I didn't know what observation meant until I was much older than 3. As Jackie says, "She is like the prodigal baby!"
Today while watching tv,
Me: When we go to St. George, we will have to try out the new "Pirate Pizza" place.
The conversation in the bathtub today:
So, for some reason Lora has been asking for a pet every day for the past couple of months. It is the most random things as we haven't had one since she was really tiny. Today's conversation in the car went like this:
So, we have been reading the Scripture Stories books with Lora. We started the Doctrine and Covenants because that's the new reading for Sunday School this year. So one of the first stories is about Joseph Smith when he had part of the bone cut out from his leg. Well, for some reason Lora has been absolutely intrigued by this story. We have read it like 3 nights in a row. So she has been so curious about why he didn't drink the wine. I told her it was because Heavenly Father says it's not good for our bodies. Lunch time conversation went like this:
Lora: Mom, let's play fetch.
So today Lora asked me to read her the book "Chrysanthemum." She gets into something and has to do it over and over and over. So I read it to her and then she said, "Now I will read it." I was expecting just her little made up versions of pictures, but this time was different. She has actually heard it enough that she was able to say almost the exact words for the whole story! I have to think my daughter is smart because I am her mom (or as Jackie would say, she is the prodigal baby!), but really... she was saying the following words from the book:
So, Lora got a set of Scholastic movies for Christmas. They are just well-known picture books that have the illustrations animated a bit. Her favorite one is "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes. This is really funny because she can't say the name very well, it sounds a bit like, "Crsanfenum." She walks around the house quoting little sayings, "Crsanfenum's a daisy, Crsanfenum's a daisy." I can't help but laugh at the silly way she says things! (Poscaple for popsicle; biscaple for bicycle)
Just a quick post to say congrats to Jaime and Jason Tull, who welcomed a healthy baby boy to the earth today. Logan Clifford Tull was born at 11:08 am this morning. Baby and Mom are doing great. What a blessing!!! We send our love to the Tull family!
