I am a Child of God

Larkin LOVES to sing.

Her favorite lately has been "I am a Child of God"

We sing it every night before bed. We sing it in the car. We sing it constantly.

I recently heard Larkin waking up from her nap, laying in bed, singing ...

"lead I gonna walk inside a .....

teach a tall tall I a do

.....a love a me me me"

the real words: "lead me, guide me, walk beside me .....

teach me all that I must do to live with Him someday"

Larkin has been saying, "Oh my goodness!" this past week. It is so stinking cute. I will show her something, like a marker, and she will get excited and exclaim, "Oh my goodness!" It cracks me up every time!

Or when she spilled her cereal this morning at breakfast she banged her fist on the table in frustration and said, "Oh goodness!"

Larkinisms

Larkin cracks me up every day. She says the funniest stuff. This week she has been telling me to "Close the light off." when she wants me to turn off the light, and when she is in the bathroom and wants privacy she will say, "Close the lid." instead of "Close the door."

I spent some time with Larkin at her school on Friday and noticed a little boy named Luke who was trying really hard to play with her. He even tried to give her a smooch. She seemed oblivious, but I was curious if she did play with him at other times. In the car later I asked her if Luke was her friend.

Her response: Puke?

Me: No, Luke. Is Luke your friend?

Larkin: Puke?

Me: Luke. In your class. Is Luke your friend at school?

Larkin: Oh! Lukie. Yeah. He my friend.

I was cracking up.

{Puke? Is Puke my friend? No mom ... puke is not anyone's friend!}

Larkin loves pretending to put her baby doll to sleep. She carries this baby around all day and tells it "Shhhh" and "I love you baby" so I asked Larkin what her baby's name is.

Her response: Oink.

Me: Oink? Thats what a pig says.

Larkin: Yeah.

Me: Is your baby's name Megan?

Larkin: No. She name Oink.

Me: Your baby's name is Oink?

Larkin: Yeah. Oink Oink.

Me: Okay. I love you Oink Oink.

Larkin: I love you baby Oink.
