PB&J

-Grace proudly made her first peanut butter & jelly sandwich last week. Luckily I was paying attention when she almost dipped her already licked peanut butter knife into the jelly! I now have a ready helper/observer at the kitchen counter any time I even consider cooking.

-This morning as we were getting ready for church, Jeff was in Grace's bedroom helping her as I emptied the diaper bin into the garbage. I neglected to turn off the alarm before I opened the back door and it started going off loudly. Apparently when Grace heard the alarm she said, "Jeff, turn off the alarm!" I guess she's heard me say this a time or two!

-At lunch after church we went to a burger place where my dad ordered a chocolate milk shake. As we were getting settled at the table, Grace wasted no time in swiping my dad's shake and taking a quick taste! Later when she had completed her meal and was awarded with a bit more of the shake, she voiced her approval by saying, "Oh man!"

-Grace came up with a creative excuse for why she wouldn't eat her okra: "The skin is bad for my teeth!". This excuse was funny since it came from someone who likes eating the fuzzy peel of a peach!
