We have been talking about the possibility of moving (just a couple of miles away) and Ben has had a lot of questions. He asked Mom recently if we would still have our memory when we moved. Mom went straight to a sentimental moment and thought about what a scary thought it must be for a kid thinking that they wouldn't have memories of the old house still. An imaginary plan was concocted to take pictures in every room and make a scrapbook, but about 2 seconds later - Ben continues - "You know I have worked really hard on my games and if we unplug the Wii will it still remember where I was?" Oh - that kind of memory.
Elizabeth likes to rename things to how she thought it sounded or to how she would like for it to sound so she can remember it better. Some current faves......
Asbury church - We drive by every day on the way downtown and E likes to point out the steeple. One day she asked what it was called. The next day she yelled out - Raspberry, I see Raspberry! Close, sis. Then Raspberry got too hard and she now just calls it Cherry Berry (like the frozen yogurt place). She has no apologies either when she is corrected. "I just like to call it Cherry Berry better, so I do."
Hornsby the Tulsa Drillers mascot - We went to a game recently and E was in love with Hornsby. It was noisy at the game so we didn't realize what she was calling him. Later at home she said something about "Hornsbeat". Mom asked if she meant Hornsby. "No, his name is Hornsbeat! That is what you are supposed to call him!" Alright, then.....
Mom caught E looking at herself in the mirror recently. She was posing like she was getting a picture taken and telling herself how beautiful she looked. It was a sweet moment. When E realized she was caught, she made no apologies. "I was just talking about how cute I look for the camera." You are cute! We are so glad you know it!
