Conversations with my 3 year old

Conversation #1:

We were driving down the rode the other day and here is how my conversation with Madelyn went:
Madelyn:  Mommy, that red tree is so pretty!  God made it!
Mommy:  He did make that tree!
Madelyn:  He made all things mommy!
Mommy:  Yes, He did Madelyn.  
Madelyn:  He made them for his Glory!
**It was so cool to see how our conversation that day went straight into the Catechisms that she had learned already!

Conversation/Comment #2:

Mommy:  Madelyn do you want a baby brother or sister?
Madelyn:  I want a baby in my belly mommy!
** So funny the things they say!

Conversation/Comment #3:

Mommy:  Madelyn, you are so pretty!
Madelyn:  Mommy, I think you are so pretty!  (Melted my heart!!)
**This was funny because I had dressed up a little that day (normally I am in workout clothes) and she noticed.  Speaking of noticing things, she definitely pays attention to details and notices anything out of sort.  She told her daddy the other night that her PJ's he put on her didn't match.  What a GIRL!

Update on Brooks:  Brooks is doing great as well and is starting to talk a ton more.  Turning into a little chatter box!  He loves tools, trains, cars, balls, and doing everything his sister does.  They fight alot but are still super close.  We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Holiday!  And Roll Tide also!
