Day Do, Grace and Hugs

When we say grace before dinner, we all hold hands. I usually say who wants to say grace? Rowan says, "Thank you God for all our blessings" which is a grace she made up herself after listening to Jules or I say grace. One day when I said, "who wants to say grace?" this little Dilly hand shoots up into the air. We all look at him with surprise, he bows his head and says, "Day Do" (thank you in Dilly talk). No one told him what to say. Most nights at dinner that little hand shoots into the air and Dilly says thank you. God has to be smiling and just as touched as we are whenever Dilly or Rowan say grace.
This was taken before Little Grandma and I went to the symphony, so Dilly has my dress shoes on. He loves to put on any shoes that are bigger than his feet because he can get them on by himself. Rowan is still dressed in her Goodwill costume and Tu-tu, giving her little brother a hug.
And a kiss.
Rowan in Nana's heels, putting together a puzzle. She loves to take all 3 puzzles apart at the same time, mix up the pieces and then put them together again. Kirsten does the crossword puzzle each day. Rowan comes up to her and says, "Are you keeping your brain sharp?" One day Kirsten said to her, "you are one sharp cookie." Rowan looks up at her Mom and says, " Mommy, cookies are not sharp. "
Rowan sharing her 3 paper doll "babies" with Dilly. They are all dressed up watching a movie together. The big thing the past 2 days is that Rowan has decided to be potty trained. She woke up yesterday, dressed herself for the day in lacy "dog" undies and her favorite outfit. She has only had one accident each day. She is doing great and so proud of her slim lines and frilly undies. Way to go Rowan
