Hard Work

February 26, 2010

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

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, 2009

I 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!
