Samm Says

On the way home tonight Josh and I were laughing at something Samm had said to us. Sometimes she talks more like a sixty year old than a six year old. Like when she asks her little friends if they would like to "join us for dinner". Then Josh made some comment about how he wished that there was somewhere to write down all the funny things she says....Hmm, I wonder what I could use?

OK, so I have to admit that sometimes I forget that this blog is for me and my family and not just to make other people smile and laugh or meditate over important topics. Nope, this is whatever I want it to be. So, from now on I am going to write down all the funny little, meaningless to other people things that my kids say and do. Because they do mean something to me.

So, what did Samm say that was so funny to us. And the key to that sentence is "to us." Well, Grandma gave her a little journal book right before we left her house and Samm was talking about putting stickers in it and so forth. Well, then we had to inform her that it was time for bed when we got home but if she wanted to she could write in it for a little bit in bed. Her response to that was...

"But what if Macy cries so loud and it disturbs my journaling!"

A genuine concern for sure, just not usually for a 6 year old.

Our grown up little girl also bore her testimony in Sacrament Meeting today for the first time. She asked me all on her own if she was allowed to go up and then asked the 2nd counselor if it was OK to bare her testimony. Actually she whispered it in his ear which was really cute.

Her testimony was sweet and pure. "I know this church is true! I know Jesus loves me and I love him too!"
