From the Mouths of Babes

E now says:

dop (for drop)
dirt (for whatever she has in her hands that she doesn't want, including pieces of meat that she takes out of her mouth)
uh-oh
tuck (for truck)
tuuuccck (if in urgent tone of voice, she means stuck)
hot
moore (she now can ask for more food, water, milk, cookies, etc.)
cheeeee (for cheese when we take their photos)
noh (for nose)

and she yells for Kor-kor pretty well too. And naturally, she yells Mama very well. If I don't respond to her fast enough, she cups both hands on her cheeks and yells even louder. She also does this roll call thing when we're in the car sometimes, mumbling to herself, "Dada, Tor-tor, Mama..."

While I was bible study at church this morning, J learnt about Daniel in the lions' den. We talked about the story again before bedtime tonight and he said, "God saves anyone in trouble." And he tells me that Daniel prayed three times. He was listening in class!

He's picked up a song in school and can sing it all the way through. And with all the actions! We are, of course, very charmed.

Ten little ducks went out one day
Over the hill and far away
Mama Duck said, "Quack, quack, quack"
And nine little ducks came running back
