Little E update

So the other day, Little E is sitting at the dining room table, perched up high in her chair. She says she wants to color, so she has out her crayons/pencils and some small 3x5 inch notebook papers. Have you ever seen a three year-old "make a list"? Imagine the wavy "words" that you sometimes see in comic strips, to illustrate the idea of a row of words on a paper. That's almost exactly what it looks like. A whole page, filled with wavy lines in neat rows. We ask what she is writing, and she tells us that she is making notes for church. Why church? "So I can put it in my Bible and so you can have the words for the hymns and singing and stuff." Coincidentally, one of her new favorites is to sing the Doxology for prayer before meals. (She needs help on the tune, but she knows all the words when she chooses to sing them!)

Little I's favorite is "Lord Prayer! Lord Prayer!" How does it begin? "Our Fadda." His other good word is, "Ahh-mayn!" (It was one of his first 'prayer' words... probably because he thinks it to be synonymous with, "Let's eat!")
