Wreck-It-Ralph, Baby Jesus, Wake Up Calls, and a Life Vest

Linking up with Melissa today :)

Every since Christmas, Gwen has called every book she has about God, The Bible, Jesus, etc., "The Baby Jesus book."  "Baby Jesus" for short.  And the way she says it, is oh so cute.  The other morning, she woke up and was calling Jason, "Daaaad, c'meeeeereee.  I GOTTA find Baby Jesus!"  I died.

It's been no secret that Wreck-It Ralph has taken over our household, but lately we have even taken it into the public.  After checking out of places like the grocery store, I usually tell Gwen to say goodbye to whomever has helped us at check out, especially if they were sweet and engaged conversation with her.  And what does my daughter say, "BYE!  SEE YOU LATER! GOING TO LISTEN TO WRECK-IT RALPH!"  Although, I know what she is saying, to them it sounds like "BYYEEE DLJFEWPTUSGLJSLEJT'IAGU;LTHL'ATUPGUPU!"  So, the look on there face is one of those "Oh-kaaaaaay."  But they giggle, as do I, and they appreciate the acknowledgement.

The other morning, I picked Gwen up out of bed and brought her into our room to lay with us, as it was still a little early.  Jason was still sort of sleeping and had his back to us trying to catch a few extra minutes.  Well, she wasn't fond of that one.  She poked him in the back and said, "Good MORNING, Dad!  It's ME, Gwen!"  Hey, my girl knows how to make an entrance.

Yesterday was a decently nice day out, just a little brisk in the morning, so when left the house early, I figured that a vest would be fine for her.  As I was zipping her up she asked, "Mom, go on boat?!?"  At first, I couldn't figure out why she would say that, but then I realized, she actually remembered going on her Grandma & Grandpa and Gigi's boats.  And that she had to wear a life vest!  How crazy!?!  I laughed and said, "No, baby, no boat today... soon though." Love my smart little cookie!

Hope you all have a fabulous Saturday!
