It seems we document the funny things our girl says in almost every post. I guess that's because we're parents who want to remember the fun things she says everyday. Today we have some good ones to report.
As we gave our General Conference reports to my mom on Monday morning, I asked Elise what her favorite part of conference was. She said, "My favorite part of conference was the prophet." I asked what her favorite choir was, and she replied, "My favorite choir was temple choir." I guess that means she was glad she could recognize the prophet and the temple (which was shown when the choir sang sometimes). What a grown up girl she is becoming, to verbalize that stuff.
This week we have also been doing 'projects' together. On Monday, we decided to make a special treat to surprise Daddy for desert that night. We ended up pulling out the peach jello. Elise got a chair, pushed it up to the island in the kitchen, got on the chair, and reached over for a rubber spatula. She told me she was ready to help, because she had her 'shovel'. I told her we don't use shovels to cook, we use spoons. She looked at me, and said, "Oh, I trade." Then she put her rubber spatula back and grabbed a different one, and told me again that she was ready to help because she had her shovel. I told her it was a spoon, that we don't use shovels to cook. She traded again, and told me she had her shovel and was ready. I finally said, "That's a great tool for mixing, let's get our big bowl." She was very excited she'd picked the right one finally. I guess we're still working on the semantics. Anyways, we made the jello, and only had some minor spills. When Daddy got home, she was so excited to tell him she had made a special treat, that she went to the fridge and showed him which shelf it was on. That night we played some games and had her treat. When it was treat time, she sat on the couch and said, "Special treat please." What a fun night!
So, of course on Tuesday we made another treat. This time we made a blueberry tea cake, that was very yummy. We had to put dishes away before we could do the baking. Elise watched as I put the silverware away. As I finished with the forks and spoons, she looked up at me and said, "Good job putting away the forks and spoons Mama!" I love having a personal cheerleader with me. I am so grateful to have such an enthusiastic fun-filled girl to be my special girl.
We hung up our calenders this last week as well. There are pictures of our family on them. Elise LOVES these, and loves having them on the wall. One is down on her level. She went over to this one, right after I put it up, and started naming the people in the pictures. She said, "I love this pictures of my family!" and tried to hug the pictures. She told me her favorite were the ones with the tree with lights. I think Christmas decorating might be a bigger adventure this year than in previous years. I have a bigger helper on my hands!
