"You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the season that their grain and wine increased. I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety."

--Psalm 4:7-8--

Little People

I like to try remembering the sweet, surprising, absurd things that my nieces/nephews do, and don't usually unless I write them down! But I thought others might enjoy them as well... It is, I think, so special because kids are experiencing most things in their lives for the first time-- and their excitement about the 'newness' of life is refreshing for us old fogies :-) So this is a 'running record' of those 'things that they do'.

Phoebe and Fiona can't talk yet... except the scattered few words, and 'Mommy' and 'Daddy', but... they definitely know how to express themselves. When they want or need something, they have a habit of going, "Mmmm, Mmmmm, Mmmm..." We've gotten so used to it that it has almost become a part of OUR vocabulary! Anyhow, we have this stuffed monkey that has velcro on its hands and feet, so it can 'hug' people. This morning I showed Fiona how it can hug her, and now every time the velcro comes undone, she comes to me, "Mmm, Mmm, Mmmm..."! so I can make him hug her again. :-)
