Funny Face

I love this time of year. We spend lots of time outside exploring and having adventures, and that means my camera is handy for snapping a few pics of Larkin (if I had a nickel for every picture I take of her, I would literally be a millionaire!)

Scot and Larkin at the Drive-In Movie ... check out that face!

I am in love with the faces Larkin makes right now. This one cracks me up! Like "Yep. I'm having fun. I'm cute. I'm two."

Check out this quiet moment of our trip to Fairy Tale Town ...

That face melts my heart!

Tonight Larkin says, "My dad work in a chicken. Yeah. A chicken."

I was cracking up.

A Little Science and Religion

A few weeks ago we were out walking in our neighborhood and we saw a rainbow. It was a beautiful day and the rainbow was trapped in the water vapor in a cloud in the bright blue sky.

It was beautiful. I pointed it out to Larkin and we talked about all the colors in the rainbow while we walked.

Pretty soon she asked, "I touch it momma?"

I laughed and told her that it was too high up in the sky for her to touch it.

She asked, "You touch the wainbow momma?"

I told her the rainbow was too high for anyone to touch. Only planes and birds and Jesus could touch rainbows because they are so high up in the sky.

She said, "Yeah. Jesus touch the wainbow."

Several weeks later ... Larkin tells the checker and the grocery store, "Jesus touch the wainbow." Larkin tells our friends, "Jesus touch the wainbow." Lakin tells her teacher, "Jesus touch the wainbow."

She tells anyone and everyone who will listen that Jesus can touch the rainbows.

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.

{I could not make this stuff up if I tried!}
