I only work 2 days a week, but every time I come home from work I am amazed at how much Wendy has grown. Maybe it's the guilt I feel for leaving her at all, but it's like I walk in the house expected to greet the 18 month old Wendy only to find a 3 year old. Just for that first second I am so shocked when she smiles big and gives me an endearing, 2-syllabled "HHHIIIIIiiiiiiiii!" Then opens her arms up wide and adds, "Mommy, hug?"
I could go on and on about the things she's recently started saying, but I'll just stick with my favorite. We have our bedtime routine down and it includes family prayers. Usually she just folds her arms and giggles through my ssshh's, then claps her hands when I say, "Amen," and looks around like, "Why aren't you guys clapping?" But Sunday night, when I finished she said, "Again?" So I told her, "Okay, again. You say the prayer." I did NOT expect her to really do it. She folds her arms and slowly rattled off:

"daddy
momma,
mommy,
blankie,
amen."
Then the next night, she got even more into it:
"foofa,
brobee,
plex,
muno,
toodee,
foofa,
brobee,
daddy,
momma,
ollie,
ruthy,
daddy,
amen."
Listening to her say her simple prayers makes me giggle and get choked up at the same time. I love that little girl and I absolutely love being her mom.

I love your little Wendy, this is too cute.
So sweet, I just love that little girl. She helps me remember how wonderful it was when Hannah was that small.
I like how foofa was the first person she blessed. I hope you can make it tomorrow, but I understand if you can't.
