Quotables

I know this is pictureless and there are a lot of things to update, but for now, I am writing a few things my kids have been saying that have brought me joy.

It is fun to hear Preston make up songs and rhymes lately. He is pretty creative. This morning while we were snuggling by the fireplace he made up a song for me:

"Mommy Mommy Mommy Mom
You are fine
You love me
I love you
Everybody loves each other
and that is the end!"

Rebekah is also quite the singer. It doesn't matter where she is--if there is a song on her mind she really belts it out. It cracks me up and makes me wonder why or when we ever let ourselves be inhibited by what other people deem appropriate. Rebekah sings in the car, she sings while she cleans her room or plays with her toys. She sings while we shop, she sings in the bathtub. She is still learning words to her favorites and has learned to substitute words when she forgets the right ones.

From Skidamarinky dinky dink: "Skidamarinky stinky stink . . . I love you!"

From Old MacDonald: "And on that farm he had a . . . he had a . . . farm E-I-E-I-O" my guess is she has no idea what a "farm" is so it might as well be an animal!

From I love to see the Temple: "I'll prepare myself while I am "yum-yum" this is my sacred "doootee"--To me she is yum yum ;)
