Daddy! Peethah (Pizza)!

Just now, Evangelina was drawing next to me when she suddenly & persistently pointed at her drawing & said, "Look, Daddy!  Peethah [Pizza]!  Peethah [Pizza]!"  What had she drawn, but a triangle!  She was referring to her experience of triangular pieces of pizza!

our little fish

In the last few days Evanglina has been "swimming" a lot (in pool & ocean), far more than she'd ever done in the past.  She is getting good at it, & has become quite confident in her her abilities to kick, keep her balance, & holding her breath.  How proud we are of her, & thankful for God's kindness even in this.

MY thank you!

Yesterday as we were getting into the car, I carried Evangelina into her seat, after which she very kindly said a sweet "Thank you!"  Jadon, buckling into his own seat next to her, thought it'd be funny to mimic her with a "Thank you!" as well.  Evangelina, who has quickly learned to be vigilant to protect her own possessions & rights, became upset at her brother, & with her curt voice retorted, "NO!  MY thank you!  MY thank you!"
