dessert

I love that my daughter considers gum a dessert.

something worked!

Bethany LOVES quesadillas. I've tried putting chicken or beans in them and she won't eat them that way. She likes them with cheese ONLY (as she prefers most things!). Well, while I was at Publix today I stopped in the baby aisle and picked up a jar of pureed chicken. I spread it (very thinly) on the tortilla before putting on the cheese. SHE'S EATING IT!!!!!!! She has no idea what I did! Halleluia!!!!! Next time she wants mac 'n cheese, I may try putting some pureed squash or something in the pot! I hope that this isn't a one-time experiment gone right. It better keep on working!

melt my heart

Last night at dinner, instead of Nathan or myself praying, we asked Bethany to say the prayer that they say before snack time at school. It goes like this:

(to the tune of Frere Jacques)
God our Father, God our Father
Once again, once again
We thank You for our blessings, we thank You for our blessings
Amen, Amen.

After she finished she said, "When we pray, do we close our eyes so we can see Jesus in our hearts?"

Gasp...tears...(a little choked)"Yes, we do".

She takes my breath away.

The next round of pictures is available here.

So much for sleeping in. B woke up at 7am. I think because she was hungry. Of course once we got downstairs, she would not eat anything. Finally settled on cheese.

I need to remember to tell you all the story about finding a potty for B in the Louvre. Right now, we need to get her out of the hotel because she is getting restless! More later.
