The girls were playing outside, and Elizabeth fell down the cement steps. Now, to make things worse, she has a slight fear of stairs, of falling down them. Her legs twisted a little bit (Snowy saw the whole thing) and, after we had her walk a little bit to be sure that nothing was BADLY hurt, I just held her and comforted her - she was crying up a storm. After just a few minutes, she asked, "Can I do it again?" I asked her what she meant. She said, "The stairs." So, I put her at the top of the steps, and she walked down them...but JUMPED off the bottom one, the one she fell from! I thought it was incredibly brave of her to want to "get back on the horse", as it were! Edited by Amalthea, Aug 16 2008, 09:45 AM.

Even if she's bleeding, she will ask for me to just clean it - but NOT put a band-aid on! When I do, it is under complete protest from her. Deborah loves band-aids...and I thought that most kids did.

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,952 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	That's what I thought. That's why it's so strange that Elizabeth hates them.

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,952 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	We were doing the "5-Finger Prayer" before bedtime. We got to the ring finger, which is for people who are sick or need help or special prayer. Deborah asked God to bless the people we have been praying for, and she added Elizabeth (because she had a bad cough yesterday). We told her that Elizabeth was fine. Deborah turned to Snowy and asked, "Daddy, are YOU sick?" He said that he also felt much better. She looked a little disappointed...she wanted to pray for more people! We had to wrack our brains for people to pray for...we ended up mentioning most of YOU guys!

We choose a letter, then I give her clues and she has to guess what the word is, beginning with the chosen letter. Occasionally I'd let her give ME a clue so that I could guess the word. Well, she threw at me, "What is on the 'Germ-X' bottle? I didn't have a clue! She gave me another hint: "Hand........." Still, nothing. She finally gave me the answer: "Sanitizer!" I never even saw it coming.

Resident Violin Playing Plumber Posts: 5,986 Group: Admins Member #2 Joined: Jul 5, 2008	My 3 year old is speaking pretty clearly now. Some of his phrases are: When he sees the family's pictures he says " That's momma-you! That's daddy-you!" When he wants a hug, he says " Give you huggie?", and he wraps his arms all the way around my neck, gently! When he doesn't want to walk he says " Carry you?" This makes me laugh every time, just the thought of that sweet little guy trying to carry me.... Hahahahahahah! I am trying to remember the funny things: lately I am pretty burnt out with mommyhood, lol.

If she's talking to a grown-up and they don't notice, she will yell, "HellOOOOO! I'm talking to you!" One of the most unusual things Elizabeth has said: One night last week she climbed into bed with us. No comment, no crying, just climbed on in. The next day we asked her why she got into our bed. She said that she slept in HER bed. I gently reminded her that she didn't; she slept in ours. She said, "Oh, yeah. Right." Snowy asked her if she had had a bad dream. Her answer: "Yes; and that's all I'll say about it." She turns 4 in February.

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,952 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	I witnessed a fascinating conversation between my girls after Deborah came home from spending the day with her Godmother: D: "Did you have a good day?" E: "Yes!" D: "Did you miss me while I was out?" E: "Oh, yes." D: "Were you scared while I was away?" E: "Oh, no!" D: "Did you make water in the potty?" E: "YES!!!" D: "You did? Good job, Elizabeth! High five!" [they high-five]

Now, this was the first I heard about it. Apparently, what happens is that he can pop the "knuckles" in his neck!!!

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,952 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	Elizabeth said something I didn't like (not anything BAD...but it's a long story). When I told her to stop, she said, "It wasn't me; it was Austin!" - one of her Backyardigan stuffies!

The Singing Silver Unicorn Posts: 6,952 Group: Global Moderators Member #6 Joined: Jul 6, 2008	I've got 2: We were doing our family devotions after dinner. I was reading. I read, "Jesus loves you! How does that make you feel?" Without a pause, both of the girls jumped up and shouted, simultaneously, "Happy!" _____________________________________________________________ Snowy was walking past Deborah's room on his way to bed and noticed that her eyes were open. He said, "You're not asleep yet!" She quickly closed her eyes and said, "I am now!"
