It's Up to Me

Amy had told me several cute things Amelia has said/done recently.  I guess it's up to me to write about them.  I'm hoping Amy will have time to blog again soon.

Amelia attends an Episcopal school and at the beginning of the year parents are asked to indicate their preferences about their child taking communion.  Amy and Darryl want Amelia to wait until she understands what it is all about so they asked that she not participate.  Well apparently Amelia decided on her own to participate.  That afternoon she told her mom that her teacher told her not to take the bread next time.  Then she whined, "But Mom, I really like that bread."

Her school had a Christmas store where the children could shop for presents for their parents.  Parents set a limit on how much they can spend.  Amy picked Amelia up from school and Amelia reached into her backpack and put a lady bug cap on her head.  When they got to the car, Amy asked Amelia if she had bought something for herself at the store and she replied that she had bought herself a few things.  Then she started to pull other things from her bag that she had bought for Amy and Darryl.  Amy suggested that she keep them in the bag so that it would be surprise.  Amelia said, "All right, but I got you some real nice soap that you can use to bathe me with."

Yesterday she asked her mom if she was going to get married again.  Amy explained that she wasn't that marriage was something that should last forever.  Then Amelia asked, "If you marry someone and they are mean, can you just switch them out?"

I'm sure that I didn't tell this as good as Amy could, but for now it is up to me to save these kinds of stories for posterity.
