Mariah Moments

*My dear girl is full of fun, adventure, expressions galore, drama, and sassy-ness (gotta get this one taken care of before she's a teenager), and she is a laugh a minute!

* She is social and loves to be with people. When we are done with our errands for the day she always is crying from the back, 'no go home mommy...more shoppin'! Kaleb, on the other hand, always says, ' mom, can you leave us home so we don't have to do errands....that makes me bored.'

*She has helped Kaleb be more social in saying 'hi' to others. In fact, Kaleb always tells Mariah to say 'hi' to others for him! Pretty funny how he's got that worked out.

*She is hard to discipline at times because when she is in trouble she starts making all these crazy faces, shaking her head 'yes', blinking her eyes fast, sticking her tougue in and out of her mouth like a snake, and then begin talking like she is making some big excuse! oh my....help!

*She is a little momma....loves her babies and normally is taking care of several and talking to them. She loves on them and then they get pow-pows (spankings) and puts them in time out! She feeds them, rocks them, wraps them up, plays meeting with them and prays with them. So sweet!

*Mariah does not really like to eat meat or sandwiches....loves her fruit, vegetables, yogurt, etc.

*She loves following her 'bubby' around and doing everything he does...including climbing high spots in the house and using a hammer or a knife.

*She is learning to pray and always wants to be the one to pray out loud..."Father, thank you for mommy, daddy, bubby." We help her with a few other words but I love her eagerness to pray.

*She carries in her purse a bible, notebook, sunglasses, and bottle to feed her babies. You can catch her playing meeting any time of the day sitting on her little stool and using her bible as her song book.

*Funny saying (2.15.10):

Mommy: What are the name of your babies?

Mariah: Tortilla....cheese...tortilla

*Mariah and Kaleb normally like to 'work-out- with me while I do my work-out videos. The other day she walked in the room, shook her head 'no' and expressed matter of factly, 'no exercise mom. I too tired. I lay down." And she did! I was laughing hysterically.

*Mommy or Daddy: I love you!

Mariah: I love you....MUCH!
