At family council on Sunday I mentioned that one of my cousins' kids was having a wedding reception in a couple of weeks. I knew my little wedding buddies (Sophi and Lexi) would want to come with me. I asked if anyone else would like to attend. Graci quickly asked, "Are they having dinner or light snacks?" Christi and I cracked up. I guess if you ever see Graci at your wedding reception, you can thank the caterer!
I was dropping Sophi off at school earlier this week. There are two lanes that parents can pull into: lane one is right next to the sidewalk, lane two goes through the parking lot and requires the kids to cross at a crosswalk. Usually I pull into lane one, but the flow of traffic that morning required me to get into lane two. A deep, annoyed sigh came from Sophi in the back seat. "I hate lane 2! It's so humiliating!!!"
Me, in surprise: "you're embarrassed when you go through lane 2?"
Sophi: "I'm not embarrassed! It's just humiliating!!!"
Me: "Humiliating means really embarrassing."
Sophi, now a little embarrassed: "Oh. I thought it just meant terrible."
Sophi is SO amazing. I love her independence. The other day she needed something out of the fridge:
I love kids! They keep me laughing:)

These stories made my morning! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are Sophi and Graci's lines of a poem I made in honnor of your family. :)
ReplyDeleteSophi's: "Young Sophi is amazing,
with her feet, she can do anything;"
Graci's: "Graci may have a heart disease,
But she thanks God for everyday she sees;"
