Endearing

Kids are so endearing. Here are a few examples of today's experiences.

Bronwyn got a wild hare today as I was sitting on the floor of her bedroom

sorting and putting clothes away into drawers.

She grabbed the neck of my shirt, pulled it out and looked down my shirt I guess to see

what it was that my shirt was covering.  And then started identifying things.

"Shirt."  "Backpack."  Backpack?  After thinking for a minute what the heck the backpack

could be, I realized she was talking about my bra. Ha! And starting laughing very hard,

when I was suddenly being squeezed with the sweetest hug by my smiling chubby cheeked

Bronwyn girly. She is such a playful and fun little girl. And man does she make us laugh.  :)

Aftyn at dinner tonight suddenly started chattering up a storm, telling me all about how when

we're 8 we get baptized.  Then she told me that we have to be baptized and then we get married.

With a very serious tone to her voice. When I pointed out to her very gently that 8 years old

was a little young to be married, she then told me "but when I am 8 then Daddy will baptize me."

She sure wants to grow up fast.

 Luckily, she's only 3 1/2 but I know the time will go by too quickly. She is such a

sweet and serious girl. Such a trusting little spirit and understanding and grasping

so many grown up concepts right now!

Yikes! It makes me realize how quickly kids really do grow up. :(
