Cute Lizzy Moments: August 2011

A PRESENT FOR DAVID
August 15, 2011

My little girl is such a sweetie! This morning she found a little plush bunny with a blue sweater I bought the other day at the DI. She held it up to show me. I told her it was for Baby David. "Oh, Baby David!" And she came rushing up to me, lifted up my shirt, stuck the bunny on my belly, laid my shirt back down and said, "There! For Baby David!" Baby David hasn't even been born yet and she already wants to share! I think she's going to be a great big sister.

HORSES SAY NAAAAY
August 22, 2011

Having a talkative two-year-old around the house sure makes life entertaining around here. Lizzy says the funniest things sometimes. She always has something to say, and most of the time I can understand it, but not always. This morning I had a fun, brief conversation with her. We were watching horses on Animal Planet, and Lizzy LOVES horses.

Lizzy: "What does a horsy say?"
Me: "Naaaaay!"
Lizzy: "That's right, Mommy!"

We were totally in role reversal during this very short conversation. I love hearing her mimic what she hears me say. In this conversation she was the mommy.

MOUNTAINS
August 28, 2011

Every Sunday morning, Brad or I will usually turn on "Music and the Spoken Word" to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. As soon as I turned on the TV this morning, Lizzy came waltzing into the living room, trying to sway her hips back and forth to the pretty music and attempting to snap her fingers. I wasn't sure if it was really the type of music you would snap your fingers to, but Lizzy was doing it, and she was loving it. She then climbed on the couch next to me and together we listened to a beautiful arrangement of "Climb Every Mountain." During the song, video clips of mountains and other beautiful scenes filled the TV screen. Lizzy got exited by that. When a particular clip of a mountain came on, Lizzy desperately wanted to tell me about it. Her limited vocabulary kept her from using the word "mountain," so she described it to me instead.

Lizzy: "Look! Like a house. Like a rock!"
Me: "That's a mountain."
Lizzy: "Moun-tain."
Me: "You're right. It is like a house and like a rock."
