Gracie is learning to read. Whenever she comes to a word that ends in -ps, such as tips, she only hears the sounds "psssss", so she screams "PISS" just as proud as she can be. Last week, I calmly told her to sound the WHOLE word out. Yesterday, I just couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. Hard. So, now it is a game, and she is the funniest little girl in the universe. Every word spells piss. hehehehe She WILL learn to read. Someday.
I slept in yesterday with Gracie and Ellie. Well, until 8:30 anyway. Faith had been up since about 7:15 watching cartoons in the living room. Or so I thought. I got up at her urging, and when I went to the living room, I passed two chairs strategically placed near things that were off limits. Like my purse. And the kitchen (which is gated). When I made it to the couch, I saw a dozen gum wrappers empty on the floor. Seriously. A dozen. I had just purchased the pack of gum for those moments when the children need some little something to make them behave for one more minute. I asked Faith where all the gum was. And she replied with the cutest little grin, "in my tummy!". Ughhhhhhhh
My proud moment...When we say "let's pray" before eating, Ellie clasps her little chubby hands together and waits for us to pray. It is so sweet! Well, both Gracie and Faith wanted to pray, so Faith started, and when she said Amen, Ellie grabbed some food to eat. But when Gracie started praying, Ellie dropped her food and re-clasped her hands. I wanted to cry. She is getting it! She is ONE, and she is understanding that we pray first before eating. I am so proud of her!
As I type, I hear in the background, "Wanna smell my breath?" hehehe How can I not be thrilled with what I do everyday? This is so much fun!!

Awwww....those are SUCH precious memories. I know you'll treasure them always! I wish I could have seen Ellie!
Faith sounds like me with Gum lol and im almost 22!! To cute!!
Kids say and do the darndest things!! Isn't that how the saying goes? Well, it sure is true. How funny are your girls!! I absolutely love the one about how Ellie folds her hands to pray. You have to get a picture of this, Steph!! I bet she looks so cut sitting there with her hands folded.
And Faith, how she went to ALL the trouble to pull a chair up to where your purse was and get ALL the gum.
And that Gracie!! She is always doing something funny!! I bet her reading is pretty fun to listen to.
You probably laugh on a daily basis with those girls.
