And here are some recent experiences with my three year old
last week during FHE
me: Jesus was obedient. He ALWAYS listened and obeyed.
Lexi (totally sincere and excited): like me!
me(cracking up): something like that...
almost every time Lexi gets dressed
Lexi (head tilted to the side): mom, does this look hot?
me: it looks really cute (I don't love my three year old wanting to look "hot," not that she even knows what it means)
Lexi: no, does it look hot?
me: you look really pretty
Lexi (annoyed): but is it hot?
me(also annoyed): yep
last week while we're making breakfast for dinner, Lexi sitting on the counter
Lexi: I'm so cute making waffles!
Few weeks ago, as I was heading to the temple.
Lexi:mom, where are you going?
me: to the temple
Lexi: I want to come to the temple!
Me: Sorry sweetie, just moms are going
Lexi (sobbing now):But I want to go to the temple. Mommy, I want to go with you!
She was so upset. It was so sad and so cute at the same time. I had recently taught her the song I love to see the Temple, and I think she just thinks it's a castle. I told her I'd take her to see it sometime.
Today, while we were practicing "little letters"
I taught her the capital letters during the summer, so now we've been going over the lower case. On the back are pictures that start with that letter, so after she'd get a letter right I would show her the pictures and say "a, like apple; e like egg,"etc., but Lexi's versions of what the pictures were cracked me up, especially because she is so excited when she says it:
i = ink "like messy!"
d = dog "like a puppy!"
h = horse "like pony!"
j = jet "like air -a -plane!"
l = lion "like tiger!"
o = octopus "like jellyfish!"
r = rose "like flower!"
x = x-ray "like a picture!"
She's definitely not picking up on the link between the letters and pictures!

Oh, that is sooo cute! You had me giggling with those stories. So fun :)
pretty tail. I like that! I think she's got a good point there.
what are these little letters you are talking about. Can I buy some somewhere?? Thats such a good idea!
so cute! You'll love looking back on that some day. My little Zach has been doing well in speech therapy, but I miss the old way he he used to say things.
HILARIOUS! Kids say the funniest stuff. I'm dying over her asking if she looks hot! Where do they come up with this stuff?
I love Lexi's personality. And her interpretations of the letters are hilarious. I just read your story about Jackson and I'm so glad everything was ok, and that your prayers were answered. Your kids are adorable.
