Little Miracle

Okay, so I guess I am being a "Chatty Cathssy" lately, but today we had a little miracle happen, so I thought I would share.

Justin and I were hanging out on the couch, Etta was napping and Lydia was running around the room doing whatever she pleased.

Right now, Lydia is into putting on clothes.  So she found some shorts of Etta's and started putting them on. She actually did pretty well.  Both legs were in place, and she stood up, but she wasn't able to pull them up.  She tried to, but it got her sort of out of control, and she started to run forward, and trip at the same time...

Well she tripped right into a huge 30 inch tall glass vase. Head, face neck and arms, flat into the shattering glass.

Justin and I jumped up, but it still took a few second to get over there.  I scooped her up, ready to see blood... I tell you the vase was shattered, half of it still sticking up sharp shards the other half in pieces all over... and she couldn't sit up, so she was moving around in that 3 seconds it took for me to grab her.

BUT She was had not a single scratch.  Nothing, she didn't even cry, or scream.  It was a total miracle.

I kid you not, the way she landed she could have easily cut her neck and wrists... got glass in her eyes.

It was such a miracle that she was okay.  I am so thankful that she was safe, and I wanted to make sure I wrote it down, and thank my father in heaven for watching so closely over my children,

Princess Phone

I've been cleaning out Etta's room and finding toys one of which was a little princess cell phone.

It was so funny to hear her talking on the phone.  After I handed it to her she opened it up and said, "I've got to call my cell phone".

Then she was like "Hi Princess..."

She had been playing on the phone and telling her about things, it was so funny to hear her "ya, ya uh-huh, okay"

She said "I've got to call my sister"
And I asked who is your sister and she said "Cinderella"
I hope that doesn't make her the mean step sister...

Later she walked into the front room where everyone was hanging out  and informed me that... "Mommy, I called you on the phone, and there is a dinosaur in my room..."  Justin had to go in to her room and tell the dinosaur to go outside.  It was funny to hear her yelling, no Dinosaur, go outside...!"

Sing along...

Every night when we put Lydia to bed we always sing I am a Child of God.  I usually will ask Lydia to repeat the easy words, or the final word of each stanza after I say them, like "me" and "day"...

Tonight when I was singing it, I paused at the part "Teach me all that I must..." and she filled in on key, "do".  She has never done it without me saying the word first it was so cute... then I thought I would try it with the last line "To live with him some...." and she filled in "day".  ON KEY!   What a sweet heart.

She is so smart.

Her talking is still not super clear, but she is definitely building on her vocabulary.

This morning she woke up at 6:00 and she has been sort of sick so I went into her and was just holding her.  When i walked in and picked her up she said 'Air's Dada go?" Where did Dad go?  Then she Said, "Air's Etta go?"... and then "Airs Momma go?"  They were quite good sentences if I do say so myself.

When she was all calm I told her Nigh Nigh... and laid her down in her crib, and then for dramatic effect she scrunched up her face and said... "Ouchie.."  "Owie...."  Cuz she wanted to get more cuddles.. it was cute!  (but I did go back to bed, cuz she was totally faking it!

Tonight at bath time I got some good spiked hair pictures.
