I wish I had a video camera following Laekin around because everything she says is just so cute! Some of my fav translations....
coughcough - washcloth
him cute - he's cute
my paint still on - nail polish is still on her toes
sop sops - flip flops
I love when she prays... an example... tick tock go clock, now I pray, tank you for mommy, dada, sissy, bubbey, (clicks her tongue and says um a dozen times), papa go in airplane (clicks her tongue and says um another dozen times), tank you for John (because one night we couldn't figure out what she was saying, apparently it was Jen, but we thought she was saying John...don't know a John, but now she thinks it is funny), food, beds sleep in (clicks tongue over and over again and says um), go to liberry, mommy, dada, sissy, bubbey, go to ella's house (clicks tongue again and then I say in Jesus name amen and she says no mommy, not finished) and then says tick tock goes the clock, now I pray, mommy, dada, sissy bubbey (clicks tongue says um and then proceeds to ask me questions about something that happened so she can pray). Then all of a sudden she says in jesus name, amen!
The other night Mike fell asleep while we were reading still, so I woke him up because we were going to pray. So Laekin starts and all of a sudden Mike is sleeping. So I shake him and say Laekin is praying....so Laekin continues her prayer...tank you mommy open her eyes when I pray and daddy sleeping. I just busted out laughing and then she thought it was so funny and kept saying it over and over again. The girl is a hoot!!

Time is flying
Last night, Laekin was praying and she said "dear Jesus, thank you for food, 5 food, um 2 food, and she kept going on." I said, Laekin, we're praying not counting. So she said, "oh, ok" and started again and then wanted help. When we finished praying, it dawned on me that in her little mind she hears thank you 4 food, so then she continued on with other numbers. We all laughed so hard once again at the cute things she does.
Laekin turned 3 years old, Brandt started kindergarten and Lucy is in 3rd grade. It's hard to believe that our kids are getting so big! We were talking about hobbies in school yesterday, and I was giving example of hobbies and Brandt said, and you're hobby is cooking and cleaning the kitchen. He also told me a few months ago, "mama, I know your favorite things to do...cook and clean the kitchen." So apparently because I do a lot of it, Brandt thinks it's what I love to do. I told him I do like cooking, but I just clean the kitchen because I have to. I'm glad he thinks I love to do it because I guess that means I'm not complaining!
Brandt learned to ride a two-wheeler this month, and Lucy went on all the roller coaster at Silver Dollar City this month when we went. So those were big accomplishments that were fun to see because they were so proud of themselves.
Laekin loves her Sissy and Bubba...whenever I give them choices of something she will pick something and then hear their choice and say "actually" and then choose what they did. I'm thankful our kids are the best of friends...they love to play together when we aren't working on school, they love sleepovers in each other's rooms, and Lucy has really been showing us that she is thinking of them before herself which makes my heart happy! I'm so thankful for our children, even though each day is a challenge to accomplish all that we have to do. I will never look back and wish I hadn't homeschooled.
