5 Things

That I love about this child today....

1. She asked me if her lunch was ready at 9:26 this morning. She wakes up asking for me to make pancakes the minute her eyes open and then is ready for lunch before I can even get the breakfast dishes cleaned up.

2. She has become our little phone operator. She learned how to dial 911 at school and kept wanting to call them and tell them when she got hurt or even better to tell them that Don, (My Grandma's husband) had died...which he really did. But she wanted to call 911 and report it to them.

She has called Jason 3 times already this morning until I had to take the phone away from her. I taught her his number trying to distract her from 911 and now she calls him everyday in the middle of work meetings & tithing settlement. I will hear his voice in the middle of the day and wonder why he is home. Then I realize it is just Lucy talking to him on the speaker phone. Now she is learning to call her Grandparents to pester them.

3. She is learning to read and spell and follows me around telling me that she can spell a certain word with her eyes closed. (Like that makes it harder.)

4. She insists on wearing her pj's all day because "not the next day but the next day it is Polar Express day at pre-school" and she gets to wear pajamas to school so she is just getting ready right now.

5. She came in my room crying in the middle of the night last night because "she don't have none dolly's."When I asked her what she meant she said she wanted to sleep with a doll or a teddy bear, (which she never has before.) So I got up and searched the house for a doll and a teddy bear so she could go back to sleep.
