Tick Tock Prayer

My nephew Mason, who Lucy calls Boz, has a prayer that he learned in school that goes like this... "Tick, tock, goes the clock, now it's time to pray, we fold our hands and bow our heads and this is what we say. Thank you God for good food, thank you God, thank you God for good food, thank you God, in Jesus name we pray, Amen." Here's Lucy's version... "Tick tock, Boz, tick tock Boz." then she folds her hands and closes her eyes (very tightly might I add), and says a whole bunch of words I can't understand and then "eyes" some more words I can't understand and "Amen." Then she proceeds to do it again and again.

Go, Pack, Go.... what happened??

Here is Lucy and her cousin Preston dressed in their best as we cheered the Packers on. When I put her outfit on Sunday morning, she looked down and said "football". Unfortnately the season is over, but Lucy learned the pride in wearing green and gold this year. We love you Pack and can't wait for next year!!!

Just like Daddy

We haven't actually gone in the potty yet, but Lucy loves to sit on the potty and look at magazines. She sat on it for about 15 minutes the first time and just looked at the magazines.

Couldn't you eat her up!!

It's a handy to have a smart husband

I'm sure I will use this title again because he has some dandy ideas that I just might want to share. So we got these really soft sheets for Christmas from my parents, but because they are so soft, they keep coming untucked at the bottom. So Mike told me the other night that we should sew some denim on the bottom of the sheets because they need some friction, so when we tuck them in they will have some grip so they don't keep slipping out. I laughed so hard... those brilliant engineering minds, gotta love them!!

He's not only brilliant, but he is a softy. We are trying to get Lucy to sleep without her binky. So the other day at nap time Lucy cried on and off for close to 2 hours before finally going to sleep. I would go up there, bribe her with a sucker if she would go to sleep without a binky, rock her, etc... well, she finally fell asleep without it! Praise the Lord she did it. So that night I was going to work out and Mike put her to bed. I said, "try to do it without the binky, but if she cries too long go ahead and give it to her." So I come home... "so did she go to sleep without her binky" to which Mike responded, "no, she cried for like 7 minutes before I gave it to her." Seriously, after 7 minutes.... he's a softy!!

I'm a Bloggin'

That's right... after MUCH persuasion from Jana and Traci, I finally created a blog. Lucy is beginning to talk so much and is doing such fun things that I am going to write them down so I can remember these precious days!

So today is a special day... it's Mike's birthday. So I decided to let Lucy help me make his cake. She actually did a really great job of pouring everything into the bowl, and she even grabbed the mixer and stuck it in the bowl ready to mix. So we finish mixing, I take the beaters off, and she immediately stuck out her tongue to lick the beaters... Mike showed her that a few weeks ago. Anyhow, I went to get the pan and I came back and she stuck the mixer into the bowl, without beaters and was lifting it back up with her tongue out ready to lick some more. So now there is cake batter up in the holes of the mixer, hopefully it will work next time. So, thanks Mike for showing her how to lick the beaters!! She was very proud of herself. I love having a little girl.
