Time for another braggy post about my little Peachfuzz, who is not quite 22 months old. Last night she said her first full sentence. We were having dinner at my parents house and dad was holding her. I guess he asked her where she was going to sit and she said "I'll sit on mummy's lap". The whole room went into stunned silence, and then in true proud mama fashion, I got a little teary over my clever, growing-up girl.
Tonight at dinner, Peachfuzz said her own prayer, without prompting, for the first time. We always pray before meals, and she will often take a few bites of food after the prayer, then fold her hands together again and ask for "more more pare". Tonight she did the same, and as soon as Papa Bear and I held her hands, she started praying. It went something like this... "Dear God, thank you, little Poppy, little Dan, little Mel, Amen". Another beautiful moment that filled us both with pride at how grown up our little girl is becoming.
Below is a picture of our little prayer warrior, who decided to pray in the middle of a maternity photo session we did yesterday. Thanks to Miranda for the gorgeous photo!

Very cute! Wow what firey red hair. I heard that temper goes with the red hair. Is that true or a myth? My 2 year old has learned to pray now as well:)
Yes, she's definitely a red-head! Temper and red hair is, I think, a self-fulfilling prophesy. If we keep saying things like "well it's because she's a red-head" every time she has a tantrum, I think she will grow to have a temper. I like to think she's actually got a pretty normal temperament for a child her age.
