Conversations with Liza

Seriously, the best thing about having a 2 1/2 year old is getting to finally hear what is going on in their little brains. With Liza, it is always funny.

Monday night she watched her first full length movie....she has never sat and watched one from beginning to end....this was a first. Beauty and the Beast was on TV and we let her stay up a little later to watch it with us (I think we were enjoying the extra cuddle time...).

So, the first time Belle came out in one of her "fancy" dresses we heard Liza gasp and go, "ohhhhh!"

Lee: "She's beautiful isn't she, Liza!"
Liza: still gasping.... "yes!"
Lee: "She looks just like mommy, doesn't she!"
Liza: "Yes! And there is you, Daddy! The Monster!"

Found this picture on my phone and wanted to post... Took the kids to Chick-Fil-A the other day. We were there early and all by ourselves....aka....playground to ourselves. My sweet big boy....at barely 1 year old....climbed all the way to the top of the playground thingy and slid down the slide all by himself! No push or help from anyone.... A feat I am sure Liza didn't do until she was 2 (although, her healthy legs always seemed to get in the way...haha). I was able to capture his face and just how proud he was on the way down.

The funniest part, though was what Liza was saying the whole time.... She was at the top coaching him on.... but she was saying, "Boy, come on. Come on Boy. Hey, Boy, come on." Who is 'Boy'??? Liza, meet your brother....his name is Will.

School Christmas parties!

Will's little party was a blast, too! He couldn't have sweeter teachers.....I am amazed every Tues. and Thursday with what they do with 10 one year olds! And they are so so so loving.... I think the cutest part of all was that sweet boy tuckered out at lunch time.....I have never seen my child do this....neither of them, ever. It cracked me up.

Wouldn't you know it...I forgot my real camera to their school parties....thank goodness for great technology....I think I got some okay pictures with my phone. :) Liza's class is just too cute. It was so fun to get to be around these little friends that she makes me pray for every night...

The party was fun...lots of singing, story reading, and they recited John 3:16 which I had no idea she was learning. (well, a portion of it: God loved the world, SO MUCH, that he gave his only Son!) Emphasis on the "so much" b/c that is exactly how Liza says it. :)

So this made me want to cry that she knew this..... And she didn't just know it with her teacher leading her....she said it again perfectly all by herself when Lee got home... So sweet... Really convicting....how many times do I think about what I'll do when my children are a little older??..... I think those days are here! She is old enough to quote scripture....It is time for me to be pouring it into her little head and heart!
