lilah "Mom, do you remember what I said?"
me: "No, I don't."
lilah: "Well I said it very quietly, so I don't remember either!" After she asked me how I got saved: "Well I'm saved too. Because I believe in the Lord Jesus and I love Him so much." "So, what the setup is, is that this isn't a tall building, it's just a small house." "Oh look! All the butter on my toast melted. Is that because it's hot? Is that the rules of toast?" Her water bottle had condensation on it: "This water is foggy, because it was in the fridge!" lilah: Hmm, we need to recognize this again because it's all messy!"
me: "I think you mean organize?"
lilah: "Oh. Yes, that's it!" After asking her something she didn't know the answer to, she said to me: "Well, you can figure that one out!" "So I started to play and then realized, oh, I need you to play with me!" "Piggy's really complicated this morning. That means he's tired, that's what I call it." lilah: "Do you have a little sister Mama?"
me: "No, I just have a big sister."
lilah "Oh, so you're the little sister?"
me: "Yes, that's right." "Mama, when we die and go to heaven, will we still be dead or will we be alive again?" Piggy squeals a lot now, Lilah says it's because he's a baby...
me: "Piggy's squealing is getting on my nerves!"
lilah: "Oh. What does nerves mean?"
me: "Getting on my nerves means that I'm feeling a bit frustrated with him."
lilah: "Well I'm pretty sure he's getting on my nerves too!"
me: "No, I don't."

I love the little heap in the last shot. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE those shots! Did he use a flash?
ReplyDeleteYou do such a good job of either remembering or writing down all of those little Lilahisms. My husband always tells me to write down the funny/cute things the kids say and I never do :(
Now I don't remember. Good for you for doing it!
Hi Mary Karen,
ReplyDeleteYes, he totally had a big flash on a tripod kind of thing. I was rather envious! :)
I have a notepad in my purse and I scribble the funny little things she says down. I know what you mean about not remembering them and honestly I only write the odd one down, but wish I wrote more...because they are so her in that moment of her life...and I never want to forget that!

She is too funny. The lighting in love photos is great! I need to figure out my flash!
ReplyDeleteYou have encouraged me to write down the little cute things my kids say as well...
Hi Jill,
ReplyDeleteI have never commented on any web site at all _ever_!!! So, this is a first for me.
I just wanted to tell you how much I love reading your blog and watching Lilah grow.
You are an inspiration in so many ways.

Oh my, I love your delightful conversations with Lilah! So precocious she is.....
ReplyDeletei feel complicated on most days! so love her expressions!
ReplyDeleteHi Jill,
ReplyDeleteDo you remember what I said? No? Hehe, i said Lilah is smart. The things she says, the stuff she figures out in her head, it is amazing how the mind of a three-year-old works.
And it makes me wonder whether I started using my brain when I was three, hmmm ...
LOVE these photos! And I always love hearing the things she's coming up with lately!
