The night when we were sitting down for dinner at the table and I asked Corynn if she had put her clothes away before sitting down~and when she affirmed that it was done I said "Oh good." Normal, everyday moment. But then Andrew says "Mama, I wuwwy wike it when you say "Oh, good!" (imitates my pitch and intonations) I dink dat is nice. And I dink your voice is wuwwy wuwwy nice too." (****heart melts into a puddle****)

That Adele' has taken to calling me Mama Newman and will call from other rooms "Mama Newman! Mama Newman!" when she wants me to come. I wonder if I will ever meet her OTHER Mama?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That Judahbear could make tractor sounds before he could even walk. And climb pianos. (Don't ask.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corynn helping herself to pie at the church supper, all while matter-of-factly stating to another little friend "You can't have a hearty supper without pie!" (***That's my girl!***)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What it feels like to wake up in the morning and be startled to find these bright eyes quietly staring at you:

Miss R. calls us "Muh-derhl" and "Fad-erhl" when she wants a laugh. She called me Mary all Sunday.
ReplyDeleteMy J. is a pro at tractor noises too!
Cute little bits, all of them!
Awww...memories! I recently had a conversation about the new baby drinking milk from "my chest" with Ella. She then preceded to point and say, "cheese" and "juice" for each respective one! ;) LOL! Life would be sooo dull without sweet children...way cleaner but dull! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is TOO funny about Adele :) And TOO sweet about Andrew :)
ReplyDeleteThose eyes will melt ya!
ReplyDeletedelightful... it makes me look forward to words... my daughter just turned 1 on sunday and knows da and what a doggie says, and hot (im always baking and drinking warm things) and is trying to say other stuff, but i am so excited to hear about the world through her eyes! : )

Total Joy! And My Mother's Heart waiting with baited breath for my Sweet Boy with Learning Difficulties to utter the Word MaMa....oh I long for those simple words of Mama and Papa...Please Lord Jesus!
ReplyDeleteWow, I was trying to pick a favorite from that list, but I don't think I can. Lovely, each one. (Although that pie one really strikes a chord with me... or maybe it's just my sweet tooth. ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny, I was just in that same state of mind too - thankful and reminiscent - last night and I posted a list myself.
Hope things are going well in your new home.
God's peace to you and your family tonight Rebecca. ((hugs))
I overheard that pie comment, too, and immediately guffawed...in the middle of the room, with no one next to me. I guess people are used to that because no one even glanced my way.
ReplyDeleteThe great part is that inwardly, I also thought, "That's my girl!" Even though she's not mine, the sentiment remains. We hearty-supper-lovers need to band together!
