He didn't sweep me away...

I was at a Christmas concert practice this week and I brought Becky with me to watch. During someone else's turn Becky wanted to go get a drink of water. I told her where it was and let her go. She came back a few seconds later and said she couldn't find it. I told her to walk a little farther. So a couple minutes later she comes back.

"Did you find it?"

"Yes" she whispered. "A boy helped me."

I play gasped... teasing her.

"But don't worry mommy, he didn't sweep me away." She assured me.

Jesus Did

When Becky woke up this morning she said to me: "Guess who touched me last night mommy?" "Who" "JESUS!!!" "Did he... tickle you?" "No, He was very gentle and nice Jesus."

awww!

Super Mommy!

Becky was supposed to be resting on the couch. I could hear her talking to herself quietly from the kitchen. "Becky, stop talking."

"How do you know I am talking? How can you hear me?"

"Because I have super mommy powers."

"How?"

"Because I'm a super mommy!"

"No you're not, you don't have a cape!"

Proud Mommy Moment

We visited a new church yesterday and we were late getting Becky to her class. We slipped her in her class and went to service. When we went to get her the teacher asked me if our last name was Cerezo. I said yes. He said that they had asked her and she told them "I'm Becky Cerezo, C-E-R-E-Z-O" Awww, she can spell her last name! And she says it better than mommy!

Dora Impressions...

Emma has become a HUGE fan of Dora, to the point of using it as a reward or taking it away for a consequence. Her new specialty is to say: "oooohhhh maaaaannnn" when she doesn't get her way, like Swiper the Fox. It cracks me up every time~~!!! LOL

Honesty

A few weeks ago Emma was throwing a fit in the kitchen about something she wanted.

So I asked her:

"Emma why are you crying??"

"I'm NOT crying, I'm whining!!!"

Well, at least she was being honest!

Hey you!

We've taught our kids not to talk to strangers. Today, a neighbor girl was walking her dog and invited Becky (who was playing outside) to pet it. Just then we called her inside to eat dinner. She came in, but then ran back out to tell the girl that she couldn't pet the dog. This is what she said: "Hey stranger!" (we gently told her not to call her that...) Becky then says: "I mean uh, Strangeeerr! I can't pet your dog, some other time ok Stranger?"

Um yeah, I'm glad I was in the house--- because I would've been really embarrassed.
