My Girl

It's been awhile since I put some of Natalia's silly nonsense on here. Here are a few of her recent sayings that cause us to shake our heads and wonder when she got to be so grown up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Natalia, in hallway after having an imaginary conversation on her cell phone: "Mom, Aunt Kim said that I can come over and play with Morgan. She'll be here in a few minutes, okay?"
Me: "Are you pretending, sweetpea?
Natalia: "No, I'm for real!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few weeks ago when I got the call that my grandpa had passed away I was upstairs with Pete and crying when Natalia came up. She asked why I was sad. When I told her that Great Grandpa was now in heaven with Jesus, I added that sometimes people cry when they are really really happy AND sad at the same time.

Sweetly she replied, "Mom, I'll be your friend."

And today, this was how we passed the morning while Adam napped.



Who knew a cupboard organizer shelf, the post of a ring toy and lots of "ironing" could provide such enjoyment?! An imagination is a WONDERFUL thing! :o)

Love the "friend" comment and her creativity in making the iron - way to start 'em early!

That friend comment reminded me of Jeremy. The kids were helping me to pick beans in the garden one summer (he was 2 or 3, I think.) One by one they got tired of it and left the garden. Finally, Jeremy had had enough too, and as he left the garden he said, "Don't let your heart be troubled, Mom."

Precious. I love that she wanted to be your friend. Such a sweet girl...like her momma.
