Conversations

I realized the other day that I haven't posted in about a month! Wow, time flies. We recently purchased a new computer (I love it!), but I haven't been able to transfer pictures from my camera to the computer- which has contributed to my lack of posting. I need to make a phone call to Canon, because unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a simple fix.

However, I thought I could still share what Sunshine has been talking about lately. It is so fun to listen to her develop in her language skills. Lately she has been talking about halves. Yesterday she said, "Do not eat half of my banana." We usually share a banana at breakfast. She and her stuffed animals go "grocery shopping" around the house. She has them order "a half a pound" of cheese or turkey at the deli counter- it is so cute!

We've been encouraging her to tell God what she is thankful for. Here are a few people/items that have been on her list:

Daddy, Mommy, and Larry (from Veggie Tales)

Evie's food (a friend's play food set)

doors

cupcakes, grapes, cheese, bread (she is very specific about the food she is thankful for)

It's so sweet, and often is a reminder to me to be thankful for ALL things.

Lastly, I will share a conversation we had a few weeks ago. We have a bird that built a nest in one of our hanging baskets on the back porch. For at least a week we could hear the little birds chirping/crying for food. One day I took Sunshine out to see them I took the basket off of the hook and let her peer inside. She asked, "Can I hug them?". I explained to her that we could not touch them because they belonged to the mommy bird and she wouldn't like it if we touched them. She then said, "Their mommy will hug them."

So those are just a few conversations from the last few weeks. I am sure there will be many more memorable ones to come!
