heyo?

elijah's never really said much. he does certain things so you know he's understanding things. he's now coming into his own, and i've finally deciphered some of the things he's saying. heyo? = hello? (stealing one of our cell phones); ashtebah = basketball; ije = lijah; ooshi = luci; mmMA = grandma; nana = banana; cookee = cookie; choochoo = choo choo; mami = mommy; dadi = daddy...

i came home yesterday. he came running, "yaaaay mami," burying his face into my abdomen. luci has many things to say nowadays. but she always asks, "mommy, when it's good morning, are you going to go to work?"

sigh.

luci took creative liberties at her first dance recital. her partners kind of forgot their moves, and were just standing there. so she proceeded to spin a couple of times, stop, then blow kisses to the crowd. goodness. she had such a... glow... about her when i met her offstage.

Lord, please help me to raise them the right way.
