Learning to be complimentary
Things I love to hear when Izzy is playing with friends (especially right after I've reminded her not to be bossy): "Warren! You're a genius!!" Then a few minutes later, "Izzy, you're a genius too!!" They were working on a puzzle together and being very cooperative. It was delightful.

New Prayers and Mixed up words
We had an FHE lesson on Monday about prayers because we needed a refresher on how prayers should be said. I used the Primary song "I pray in Faith" - great song - and talked about each part of a prayer then we practiced and ended.
Since then my children have really tried to do better on their prayers.
On Thursday at bedtime Ryan blessed the people who are sick and afflicted - which he had to pronounce a few times before he was satisfied with how it sounded - I thought this was interesting considering the fact that neither Scott nor I really use this phrase. So after that Izzy prayed and asked for blessings upon the afflicted people. Then tonight she added "and bless that I'll do what Mom asks me to--sometimes."
She makes me laugh.
In the car tonight the kids were playing with each other and pretending some sort of spy game which rotated around secretly getting to their "lavatory" and making sure that the bad guy didn't get to their "lavatory" because his "lavatory" was burning up. I was quietly giggling in the front seat as I continually pictured them sneaking into their bathroom through the window and the bad guy's bathroom in flames. I love it when my kids get words mixed up. Is it bad that I didn't correct them?
