"Mama, Look What I Can Do!"

One of the things that I love about my kids right now is that they love to show me all their tricks... One of the phrases that I hear what seems like one thousand times a day is, "Mama, look at me." Sometimes Josiah will ask me to look at him and then he'll do something totally silly like tap his nose with his thumb... what I love about it is that he just enjoys showing me stuff... I think that one of his "love languages" might be words of encouragement... He just thrives off of me telling him that I am proud of him, or that he did a good job doing something... He lights up when I encourage him with my words... And so I love encouraging him... And I love soaking up this time in my life when he cares about what I think and he loves showing me his tricks...



Halee loves Josiah... She's his little mimic... whatever Siah is doing , where ever Siah is going, you can always find Halee close behind.. She repeats every word, mimics every action... She loves him so much... Here she is showing Mommy one of her tricks...


"Mama, look at me"... "Look at me Mama"... "Mama, look at me!!!!"
