God Made A Cow Named Horse

One of Laura Marie’s asthma medications makes her hyper for about 20 minutes.  So when we had to give it to her at 2:30 this morning, she expressed that hyperness by talking for about 20 minutes.  She sat on her Mommy’s lap and told us a long list of things God made: lions, animals, Christi and Mr. Josh, Nathan and Luke, her medicine, cows, horses, Mommy, Daddy, etc.

Her new nebulizer looks like a cow.  When she was doing her 2:30 a.m. monologue, I asked what she wanted to name her cow.  She said, “Horse.”  So she has a cow named Horse.

When she got up this morning, the first thing Laura Marie did was go into the living room and give her cow… Horse… a kiss on the head.

Naked in Ocean City

Carolyn just called from the beach, where she took Laura Marie to play this morning.  She handed the phone to Laura Marie and said, “Tell Daddy what you see.”  And I heard my sweet little two-year-old daughter’s voice saying, “Ha ha, man naked!  Ha ha, man naked!”

Carolyn said that every time a guy went by without a shirt on, Laura Marie pointed at him and said, “Ha ha, man naked!”

That’s One Cool Hubby

Me: It’s too bad you don’t realize how cool I really am.

Wife: Yeah, it is too bad.

Bless Thyself

Yesterday morning at 6:15, Carolyn and I heard Laura Marie sneeze in her crib.

Then she said, “Bless you!”

So Proud of My Girl!

Laura Marie is definitely my girl.  She did two things today that proved it:

  • I received a package from North Point Ministries.  She helped me open the box, handed me a DVD, and sat on my lap as we watched a video of Andy Stanley talking about planning worship services.  Made me proud!
  • She learned to say, “Kick a phat beat, yo!”  (And she said it to her Mommy all throughout lunch.)

Sigh…  I couldn’t be prouder!

One Year of a Mobile Laura Marie

It was one year ago last night that Laura Marie started walking!  Since that day, she has put some serious mileage on those precious little feet!

… It’s Off to Work I Go…

Carolyn just called and said that Laura Marie wanted to sing a song from Snow White for me.  So she handed her the phone, and I heard a little baby voice singing, “Hi ho, hi ho!…. Hi ho, hi ho!”

Love that kid!!!!

Praying YMCA

Last night during our family prayer time, I asked Laura Marie what she wanted to say to Jesus.

She sang “YMCA.”

Teenager In A Toddler’s Body

I’m pretty sure that Carolyn and I are raising a teenager in a toddler’s body.

This morning Laura Marie kept going in her room and closing the door.  I kept opening it, and she kept shutting it.

So I opened it, walked into the middle of the room, and stood there to see what she would do.

She went to the door and put one hand on it, looked at me, and forcefully pointed to the hallway outside her room.

Is this normal behavior for a one-year-old???
