TRICKER

I'm not the best at jotting down little stories & silly phrases that my kids say. Here's an attempt at that one...

Jadyn says the funniest things & I sometimes forget that she's only 5. She uses some big words at times & I'm not quite sure where she gets them. For example, my stepmom told me that they were in the car with my girls & that they were talking about one of my younger nieces Abbi & how she use to say "you naughty" all the time when you did something she didn't like. They elaborated at how she doesn't say that very much anymore because she's older. To which - I'm told - Jadyn replied,"Yeah, she's in preschool now & that's impressive." What 5 year old says that? Maybe a lot & I'm being silly, but I thought it was funny.

Here's another one....This past weekend we were talking about who knows what & the topic of some dinner came up that Jadyn liked. She told me that it was an "outstanding" dinner. What? I almost fell on the floor because who even says that anymore? I really don't know where that one came from.

Our Jadyn is quite the silly kid also! She loves to tease. She teases Kylie quite often & Kylie hates it. It's a trait that she has inherited from her dad. He's a big teaser.

Well, this past Sunday Jadyn decided she wanted to bear her testimony in church. She talked Erik into going up with her. She told Erik to please go first & he said ok - assuming she'd stand next to him & be ready to go, of course. Well, they walked up together & headed to the pulpit. As soon as Erik moved the mic to start talking Jadyn headed to a seat on the side to sit & wait her turn. Erik just said "she tricked me." And got quite the laugh from the congregation. Then, in the middle of his testimony, Jadyn got up & ran back down to me! Which started another round of giggles from the crowd. I guess she got nervous sitting their by herself & decided to bolt while dad couldn't do anything about it. It was hilarious! Erik looked a little stunned for a second, but ended strong. Jadyn just came & snuggled next to me saying she got scared. I told her it was ok & then dad came & did the same. Then, the urge kicked in again & she decided to head up for another shot. She was told dad wasn't saying his again & that she needed to go first. Which she did & did a very sweet, beautiful testimony with minimal help from dad. This was her first time doing it & it was her own prompting to do so.

We love having such sweet little girls. Even if they love to tease at times....
