Happy Birthday, Mileah Grayce!

Today is our youngest daughters birthday.  She is 2 years old today and, as I say at all my kids birthdays, it does not seem possible for her to be 2!  She seems especially younger because she is so much smaller than all her sisters were at this age.  Leah is very entertaining as well as being very cute, most of the time. She is also trying to take Sarah's nickname, "The Fed" away from her by trying to get into even more stuff than she is not supposed to than Sarah does!  But I thank God everyday for the blessings of all my children and today especially for number 4! 

So Happy Birthday Mileah!

Imagination



Kids usually have a good imagination.  I tend to help our kids along by asking them strange questions to see what they will say.  But today we had a conversation with Sarah, our almost 4 yr old, that showed us that she does not need my help with her imagination.  Here is how it went:

Sarah came running into the room and told us, "I am almost finished packing!"

To that we asked, "Where are you going?"

Sarah replied, "To the beach! I going fishing!"

"Really," we said, "How are you going to get there?

To that she simply said, "I am going to drive my boat."  with a 'duh' kind of tone to her voice!

A while later, she was sitting in the middle of the living room telling us she was in her "silly boat" on the way to the beach!

Now I do not even need to help her to get funny conversations with her!  This should be interesting and fun!
Stay tuned!
