Little Moments of Pure Cuteness

The last couple of days, S has had us in stitches!!! M hasn't been lucky enough to witness them first hand, but he gets a kick out of them when I tell him about them.
  • During Sunday School on Sunday, our friend was helping out in S's class. Since she is determined that S will be a gymnast/dancer/cheerleader and I have no ability in these areas whatsoever, she is going to be S's "girly" influence:) So, on Sunday, she started teaching S a cheer - say GO TIGERS while putting her hand in the air. I knew she had started working on it, but I kinda forgot about it by the time Monday rolled around. Well, S had NOT forgotten. I went into her room to get her up on Monday morning and she pumped that little fist in the air and yelled "GO!". It was so cute!!!
  • On Monday afternoon, S visited with her grandmamma for a couple of hours. She has really gotten into coloring lately so she was indulged. At some point, S found a small piece of crayon that had broken off and showed it to Grandmamma. She instructed S to take it into the bathroom and throw it in the trash. In she goes, and Grandmamma heres the 'plunk' as it goes into the toilet. No harm done, so she goes in and shows S what happens when you flush the toilet (S has never really taken notice of this before). S claps her hands together in pure delight! A few minutes later back out in the kitchen, Grandmamma catches S lugging the whole bag of crayons towards the bathroom for more bliss!!!!! Apparently just one little piece was not enough:)
  • This afternoon while I was driving, I was putting my hand on my head and saying "head" and then on my shoulder saying "shoulder" in an attempt to multi-task and teach S a bit and drive at the same time. I really wasn't watching what she was doing b/c obviously I was a bit more concerned about where I was going. All I knew was that she kept saying "head" (we haven't mastered "shoulder" yet) so I figured she was copying what I was doing. When I got to a stop sign, I turned around to see her and she had her socks and shoes off (she de-robes herself everytime we get into the car) and has her foot propped up by the side of her face scratching her head w/ her big toe saying "head"!! Oh, to be that flexible!
