We are celebrating Mary's birthday today! The extravaganza started with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast followed by a Dora Super Babies Birthday DVD that we rented. We have ridden our bikes with our birthday hats and done some Backyard Bible school crafts on the parable of the house built on sand/rock. (Paper houses are quite challenging to make regardless if they are built on sand or rock.)
Now Naomi, Charlotte, and I are waiting for Mary to wake up from her nap and Daddy to get home from work to eat her cake and open presents. We plan to head off to "Sea Lord" as Mary calls it and purchase a light sword at the Shamu night show.
As a tribute to her third birthday, here are some "Maryisms" :
Mommy: What would you like for breakfast Mary?
Mary: Chucky Larms
Daddy: Who would like to pray?
Mary: I would! (always first to volunteer)
Daddy: Sure, go ahead.
Mary: Dear Jesus, I pray for Sarlotte, Wevi, Naomi, Mommy, and Daddy. And also Lawd, give us strengf today. Help us to obey. In your name we pray, Amen.
Mary: Did Jesus come riding in on a doggie?
Mommy: No, on a donkey.
Mary: (silent)
Naomi: Come on Barrett!
Mary: O.k. Nomsers!
These are just a few of the cute things that Mary does and says. She is an empathetic and compassionate person, always the first to cry at the sad parts in movies and the first to run to someone who's hurt. We are so thankful for her.
Jenn, you do such an awesome job with the girls! I love the "Maryisms"!
