I heard you

For the last 3 years or so we've been working with Molly on being polite, saying "Please" and "Thank you". This morning it sort of payed off.

Molly's friends Jack and Bella were coming over in a while and Molly was still in her PJ's.

Toby: Molly you need to get dressed before Jack and Bella come over.
Molly: Jack's just a baby (He's not really)
Toby: Yep, but you still need to get dressed before they come over
Molly (in a bratty, sulky teenager voice): Daddy! I All READY HEARD! You!
Toby: Molly that's really rude. How should you talk to me?
Molly: Daddy, I already heard you, PLEASE?

Abby and Molly's Ballet Recital

Last Tuesday, the girls had their ballet recital. Their classes don't have a lot of students, so there's not very many kids in the recital. It was still a lot of fun, and they did really well (at least I think so).

Molly sings Christmas Carols

Molly has her own words for many of the classic Christmas Carols, but this one is my favorite:

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the Utah gay!"

She is so funny!!

Molly Part 3

Last night we were headed to Thomas' Cub Scout Pack Meeting (Thomas got 2 arrow points and will get his Wolf badge when it comes in. Good Job Thomas!), and we were playing an alphabet game. In the game, we go around the car and we go through the alphabet, with each person naming an animal that starts with their letter.

When we got to Molly, her letter was "H". Now since she can't spell, we help her with her animal. For "H" I thought "Horse".

Since she loves horses, and since she rode a horse named "Abby" this summer in Flagstaff, I thought that, that would be a great clue. Here's what she said:

Toby: You rode one this summer.
Molly: Ummmm...
Toby: Remember, you rode the other Abby this summer.
Molly: Ummmm...
Toby: Remember, it was named Abby?
Toby: What is Abby?
Molly: Ummm...A sandwich!!

Molly Part 2

As I was posting Molly's thoughts just a minute ago, she started calling for me. I hurried over to see what was so important. And I saw this...




















Molly: Arf ! Arf! I'm a doggie
Toby: OK...
Amy: Get a camera!!
Molly: Yeah, Arf! Arf!

Molly's sayings

Molly is at the age where she likes sharing her thoughts, and of course they're 3 year old thoughts. Tonight Molly said this:
Molly: Daddy !! DADDY !!!! DADDDDDYYYY!! (yelling)
Toby: Molly what, what????
Molly: Every time that we're going to Christmas, I'm goin' like it.
Toby: Ok,.. I'm glad you like Christmas

I'm not sure what going to Christmas means, but I'm glad she likes it

Busy, Busy

Here are the two reasons I haven't posted lately....

They are not the only reason, but I find myself much busier than I was before we got them.
