prayers

L is more often willing to go to sleep by himself.  He says the sweetest prayers "Heavenly Father, bless me have good dreams, bless  .....  in that name of Jesus Christ.  Amen."

When the boys rode in this L was all business inside.  Then when they got out he said triumphantly "Now you can't get us Ninja Turtles!"

Suddenly Speaking

L is suddenly fully fluent.  He was mimicking for about a month.  The other children would prompt him to say things word or sound at a time.  Then suddenly he is saying his own hilarious things.  The other day he started saying "I want something else to eat, how about... hmmm, milk!"

Conversations

L has learned to say "I love you mom."

When he tells me he loves me I sometimes say "Thank you" to which he replies "you need say I love you too."

If I remember to say "I love you too."  he'll say "you need say 'oh, so cute!".

He's so fun.
