Lena

Yesterday, Lena asked to go potty. So...I took her to the potty and she went on the potty! She asked again later and did it again! We have started a new era in our lives now. She understands now about going potty. I haven't pushed her at all towards it, but she's asking and going.

She's becoming such a big girl now. I say all the time that everything about her is a two year old--her age just hasn't caught up yet. It's so cute to listen to her sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Her version is:

"Twinkle, twinkle...star....how I wonder....are
up.....high.....diamond.....sky
twinkle, twinkle....star.....how I wonder....are."

That seems to be her favorite song. That and "Jesus loves me."

Our conversation this morning was:
Me: "Lena, we need to get dressed now."
Lena: "No"
Me: "We are going to church this morning. Do you want to go learn about Jesus?"
Lena: "Jesus, Bible?"
Me: "Yes, we will learn about Jesus in the Bible, but first you have to get dressed so we can go to church and learn about him."
Lena: ---looks at me like she's thinking---
Me: "Jesus wants to do what mommy says and get dressed."
Lena: "Okay."

If it has to do with Jesus and Church, she's happy to oblige. At bedtime, she always wants to hear a Jesus story.

God has blessed me with such a precious girl.
