Amelia just showed me a picture she made. She said, “This is one of my wishes for when I grow up: I will marry a man named Duke and we will have triplets named Max, Emily and May. I’m in the brown dress and this here is Duke with the frown…” At that point I interrupted to ask, “Wait, why is Duke frowning?” Her reply: Because the triplets are such hard work!

Another Milestone
April 28, 2009
That’s right, Amelia lost her first tooth (literally her first tooth–it came in when she was 4 months old) while on a camping trip, on the day she turned 5 and a half. You heard it here first…we have a five and a HALF year old, who is missing a tooth. Wow.
Conversations
March 26, 2009I asked Amelia what she learned about in Sunday school. She said, “There was a woman at this place (the well) giving God a drink, but she didn’t know it was God, but I DID know it was God.” I asked her how she knew it was Jesus and she replied, “He had on the same clothes as last week.” I guess they’re still using flannel-graph! I said, “Let me guess…it was a white robe with a blue sash!” She couldn’t believe I knew that!
A few weeks ago we took her to see a performance of “The Wizard Of Oz.” She had never heard of a wizard, nor seen the movie, so this was all quite new to her. She kept calling it the Lizard of Oz!
