Really, really

I suppose you could populate any blog with a 2 year old's cute phrases and expressions, so I'll do my best to not let that be the only thing I include on here, but for today, I thought I'd share Caroline's most recent language acquisition. When Caroline agrees with something you say lately, she replies, "yeah, I do, really, really." Very funny. At first I thought she was saying, "pretty, pretty", because that is how she describes just about every piece of clothing or pair of shoes you show her, but then I realized she was saying "really, really." She has been adding, "I do" to "yes" (or less desirably, "yeah") for emphasis when she likes something or wants something for a while. "Really, really" is a very recent addition to her lexicon.
Here's a little script of a conversation between Ashley and Caroline to illustrate her recent language change:
(Two weeks ago)
Ashley: "Caroline, do you want red beans and rice for dinner?"
Caroline: "Yeah, I do."

(Yesterday)
Ashley: "Caroline, do you want red beans and rice for dinner?"
Caroline: "Yeah, I do. Really, really."

What can I say? We love her! Really, really.

Chuck and Huck

If nothing else, you have to give Mike Huckabee credit for his sense of humor.

The Me Culture

So, the "it's all about me" culture (do what I want, when I want, don't tell me it's wrong) isn't turning out so well? Check out an interesting review of an HBO show and how it reflects on our culture here. I haven't seen the show (so I'm not endorsing it), but the review is on target for what I've seen happening in the real world.

LSU v. Ole Miss

funny. (thanks Laura)

In my opinion . . .

This is ridiculous.

Too soon

This is where Joshua would be in his growth progress if we had not lost him too soon. I think I'll keep the calculator up as a reminder of where he would have been if he'd stayed with us. In reality though, he is fully complete in Heaven.

I never would have guessed . . .

Your Inner European is Swedish!

Relaxed and peaceful. You like to kick back and enjoy life.

Who's Your Inner European?

Okay, so I go back to make sure this is right and I can't remember which answers I changed, and here's what I get:

Your Inner European is French!

Smart and sophisticated. You have the best of everything - at least, *you* think so.

Who's Your Inner European?

Yikes!
