Moses or God's Wife?

Tori: "Why is Moses out there? Why is Moses out there?"
Sophia: "That's not Moses, Tori. That's God's wife - right mom?"

A recent debate on the way to church about the statue in front of the Catholic parish. Unfortunately, neither child had the identity correct -- it was Mary. Needless to say there was a theology lesson the rest of the trip.
I was a little proud of my girls for recognizing a figure and utilizing their Bible knowledge. They surprise me sometimes at what they learn, remember, and repeat.

elephants in the bathroom sink

We've (more like I've) been battling an army of ants in our bathroom sink. The origin seems to be from the overflow drain in the back of the sink.
Yesterday as I sprayed them with biodegradable spray - not trying to be PETA friendly, it's just the closest thing that stops them in their tracks - Sophia exclaimed that "We don't like ants in the bathroom and we don't like ELEPHANTS in the bathroom either."

HUH??? Could two animals of distinct size and ability be that closely related in a 3 year old's mind. I firmly agreed with her that "no, we don't like ants or elephants in the bathroom sink. (Frankly my bio spray wouldn't be as affective on an elephant.)

Just in case, I'll be on the look out for dumbo.

Missed it by "that much"

You wait and wait for each milestone....the first smile, the first coo, the first roll. And what did I do? I missed it. After four months of waiting for the fist tummy to back roll, I missed it by "that much!" During supper on Sunday, I put Tori on the floor and turned my head for one second. Next thing I see is her looking up at me! There was no fighting it or fussing her way into it... she just decided to roll. So, I rolled her back over to see it again --BUT I TURNED MY HEAD for one second and missed it again. Later that night while I was bathing Sophia, Matt yelled from downstairs that I missed it again.
Well, when I finally see it, I will count that as the first roll. Maybe when she's older I'll tell her the truth :) I really think she's the more mellow of the two girls (except her vocal cords which are anything but mellow!) She just goes with the flow and gets things done. I'm anxious to see her personality shine through in the upcoming months.
