Scripture Power Time

So, of course I think everything Bailee does is cute. But right now one of my favorite things she says is "It's scripture power time mom. Find my scripture power. Find my place." I'm not even sure why or when she started saying this, but I love it. One of our family goals we've been working on is reading every night. It sounds a lot easier than it is. By the time we have dinner, clean up, and have a bath we're tired and it's about bed time. But we know it's important to have family scripture study, so we're doing our best and stepping it up a little at a time. So when we say it's time to read scriptures, Bailee runs to the front room and looks for her 'scripture power' and asks me to find her place. Right now she's carrying around the Book of Mormon that I received when I was baptized, but it's totally falling apart. I'm going to pick her up one of those cute little ones, just perfect for toddler hands. And I'll for sure get a picture. :) Bailee always wants a turn to read, so we'll say the words one at a time and she repeats them. So cute.

I really need to figure out how to get videos on here too. The funniest thing ever happened the other day, and I got it on tape. Remember, we're potty training. Friday afternoon was super busy. I hadn't finished my cards for that nights card group, I needed to make dinner, Bailee didn't take a nap, and I had a girl at wal-mart tell me that she hates Close To My Heart (seriously, I was almost as offended as I'd have been if she had told me Bailee was ugly.) So Luke got home and wanted to fix the cooler, I wanted to be helpful, I really did. I felt like I was going nuts. Bailee needed to go potty, so I took her in and helped her get situated. I told her I'd be back in a minute to check on her. About 10 minutes goes by and I realized I hadn't heard her for awhile; that usually means trouble. I walked in there and she was ASLEEP on the potty! Her head was rolling around and she was holding onto the sides. It was so funny, and seriously adorable. I grabbed the camera and caught some footage. Then she heard me talking and opened her eyes. Priceless.

One more funny. I watched McKinley today, as I do every Tuesday, and it was actually pretty calm. Until after nap time. Thats when it always explodes. So, I'm working away in my craft room (top secret project for girls camp...) and all of a sudden I hear McKinley yelling at Bailee to stop pushing. I go in there fully prepared to give Bailee time out for pushing and McKinley was SITTING on Bailee! Bailee was rolling around, trying to get up, and McKinley was sitting on her and crying because Bailee was pushing! WHAT? I was a little annoyed when it happened, but it was pretty funny.
