Our little girl is growing up so fast! She loves to do everything Charlie and I do and say. She has become quite the little helper too. Last night we realized how much she loves to say things like us and copy things we do. Yesterday all day long she would put her hands on her hips and say "what". In response to things we would say to her. Charlie and I discovered that we always say that as a response to things. She quickly picked up on it and is continuing to say it and repeat different words we say. Also she has become quite the ice addict. Yes that is me teaching her that one, having horrible heart burn and crunching on ice chips. Through out the day she takes a cup over to the fridge dispenser and says "ice?" She loves to suck on the little bits like mom. At first I would just put my cup away and say its all gone but then she realized that if it is all gone we need more and would want to help to get more ice for both of us. It reminds us how we have to be very careful in what we do and say because we have someone always watching us and looking up to us as parents. It made me think about the song "O Be Careful, Little Eyes" One part says,
O be careful little mouth what you say
O be careful little mouth what you say
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say.
O be careful little mouth what you say
There's a Father up above
And He's looking down in love
So, be careful little mouth what you say.
I remember my parents teaching us this song and singing it growing up. Sometimes we forget about things like this, but having a child has reminded me that not only is our Heavenly Father looking down but my little girl is looking up to us and we want to be a good example to her.
