Little things that make me smile

• Things Rachel said lately:
• You know you eat out too often when your two year old asks "Which resturant do you want to eat at tonight?"
• On a discussion about not opening the door for strangers, I said they might take you to which Rachel replies, "Yeah, they will trap us in their nets."
• Crying after a small boo boo she said "Can you wipe these sad things from my eyes." Good description of tears. I guess I hadn't taught her that word yet!
• "You can count on us mom!" In response to almost anything.
• Sistee=sister
• Rachel definately talks more and has the dramamtic creative mind and it shows with some of the funny things that come out of her mouth!
• Livy is still the more serious and straight forward thinker. She is logical, as much as a two year old can be, and still listens to her mommy, for the most part. (except when it comes to duck and pas) 
• She can take stuff from Rae to torture her but mostly is just a sweetie who caters to Rachels demands and whims. "Livy will do it, I want the purple one Livy, Go get my cat for me Livy, etc."
• If she has to leave her plate or duck or paci she make sure to tell me and daddy "Don't eat my food daddy", "Don't suck my pas mommy." So concerned about it it made Eric ask me I had eaten her food or something!
• Words of hers: pas=pacifier, peep=pee
• They love the Book of Mormon videos about Nephi. Lately they have incorporated Laban into their playing. They yell "Guards, guards" while running around. Usually they are running away from him, or can't go in the tub because Laban is in there, or my least favorite from the movie, "Laban is going to kill us." Lovely. Sometimes they choose the other characters to play, but mostly it is Laban. They used to pretend they were on the boat to the Promised Land but now we just get the violent side of the videos.
• I think that Livy has gotten pooping on the potty!!! The past week she has taken off her pants and gone and sat on the potty all by herself to do her business. I'm so proud of her and finally see that there could possibly be an end to this long journey. Still pees in her pants so we have a ways but the gross part is in the pot, yea!
