Umm... let's pray.

Andrew wakes up every day with something new. His words get clearer and his thinking skills get better. Here are just a few of the cute things he's done in the past day or so...

Sunday mornings are funny. It seems as though that's the only day that Andrew would just love to sleep until 10 or 11 am if we would let him. Needless to say, I have to drag him out of bed just like you would a 15 year old to get him ready for church. Yesterday morning was no different. I changed his diaper while he was still half asleep, changed his clothes, put his shoes and socks on, and combed his hair. I then proceeded to get him some breakfast, so I picked up his cup and gave him a few choices...
Me: "Do you want some apple juice?"
Andrew: (in his cute little man voice) "No!"
Me: "How about some orange juice?"
Andrew: "Nah!"
Me: "Then what do you want?"
Andrew: "Umm... sprite."

Oh man... it's times like these that seem to make sticking to my guns hard. I gave in and gave him some Fresca and donuts for breakfast. It IS the breakfast of champions, right?

Later that day, I headed to church a little late. We walked in and everyone was already in the sanctuary. Andrew thinks the church is a part of his home, so he makes a beeline for Miss Elaine's office and says, "I go see Laine!" I told him Elaine wasn't there, but he didn't listen. I look through the window to see him turning from left to right and right to left as if he was looking for something all while yelling as loud as he could, "Laine! Laine!" He then looks at me and says, "She not here." So cute!

Finally, we were sitting down to eat dinner after church and Andrew had already started eating. You should know that we always pray with him before meals and at bedtime and he will repeat prayers after us, but we have never really taught him to close his eyes and bow his head, but this time, when daddy said, "Let's pray," Andrew put his food down, put his hands in his lap, and closed his eyes and bowed his head to pray. So sweet!

He is definitely coming into what people would call "the terrible twos," and it is very trying at times, but it's times like these that make it all worth while.
