I love hanging out with my special, sweet, little girl. She is getting so grown up, and sometimes, like most kids, she says the funnest things. This last weekend was General Conference for our church. There were several Apostles that talked about how important families and family relationships are, and how we need to make sure we tell our loved ones that we love them. I try to tell my girl I love her a lot, and once in a while, she will tell me she loves me too. Well, on Saturday, I went over to where Logan was sitting on the couch, gave him a big hug and told him I love him. This is not unusual, but this time Elise saw this, and zipped right over. She put her arms around both of us and said, "I love you guys!" It was so adorable!!!! Later that day she would (unprompted) come hug Logan or myself and tell us she loved us. Those are the best moments.
Another funny thing she said this weekend was while we were discussing plans for the day. We were asking her what she wanted to do, and talking about watching conference. I don't remember what idea was proposed, but Elise piped up enthusiastically with, "That's a great idea, Mama!" It was pretty funny.
The last funny thing she said all weekend had to do with conference. There are four - two hour general sessions for conference, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. We did our best to watch them, although that is a lot to ask of a toddler. When the conference started, she would point to the screen and ask, "What is that kid called?" or "What is that kid talking about?"
She was especially curious about the choir. She would point repeatedly as they showed different parts of the choir and say, "What are those kids called about? What are those kids doing?" Each new shot of the choir prompted a new question about the 'kids' on the screen. It was pretty funny. I finally had to tell her we had to listen to find out what they were saying, but she really liked the music best, and seeing the prophet and the temple. My favorite part was at the end of each session. There were some great talks, and we will definitely be reading them as we can. But my favorite part of conference was at the end of each session, the cameras would follow the Prophet, the First Presidency and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles as they left the stand. They would shake each others hands, or give a hug or a wave, and were just so supportive of each other that it is neat to see. Then they met up with their wives, and take such care of them, that it is just heartwarming. What wonderful men they are, and what inspiring leaders! We are truly blessed.
