What'd you say?

Mikaela hit her knee pretty hard tonight while running around the house (nothing a kiss and a tickle couldn't fix).  During bath she was inspecting her legs and our conversation follows.

"This leg is not hurt".
"Right."
"And this leg is hurt."
"Yes."
"Aww, shucks!"

Morning Hair

God Made Herbivores

Mikaela's Sunday School class is learning about how God made everything.   When we picked her up today, her teacher, Mr. Tim, bragged that she was very knowledgeable when it came to that fact.  During puzzle time, he commented to another teacher that the puzzle was titled, "Herbivores."  As best she could, Mikaela repeated that word.  Then exclaimed, "God made herbivores!"

P.S. - This is just a brag for the grandparents!  Thanks to any the other readers who endured it.

Learning to Share

Mikaela had gummy bears to eat on the return flight home from San Francisco.
M: Daddy, would you like a gummy bear?
D: Yes, Mikaela, I would love one.  Thank you!
M: Great!  What color would you like?
D: Mmm... red.
M: Oh.  Ok.

She didn't ask Mommy and Daddy only got one, but still, it's a start!

First Haircut

A couple of weeks ago, on June 29th, I took Mikaela to get her first salon haircut.  Gran cut her bangs back in March.  I had Lynn trim the back in hopes that it would help her hair thicken up, as well as cut her bangs so she could see better.  Mikaela wasn't really excited about it, but was happy by the end.

Cow's Anatomy

Today we went to lunch with our friends, Cory & Pam Burns.  After eating, we were visiting, so Mikaela started playing a game on my tablet.  She was playing a puzzle game.  One of the puzzles is a cow.  Mikaela was working on moving a particular piece into the puzzle when Cory asked, "Mikaela, what is that?" (looking for an answer of 'cow.').  She replied, without looking up, "It's the bottle."

These Boots are Made for Walking

Mikaela discovered Pepaw (Donna's grandfather)'s boots which sit on the hearth as part of the cowboy/Texas decor that is in our living room.
