Well, actually, part of this was in my car.
Preface: Noa has been really into the lovely words “My” and “Mine” recently, especially pertaining to her Mama, Daddy, Baba, babies, and any toy/book that her little sister has. I have been trying to teach her the word “Our” because so much of what is hers, is also Martha’s…plus, it sounds a little nicer, right?
So we were in the car with Chizuka after going to a follow-up appointment for Noa’s lip (which is healing beautifully! Praise God!) and I hear from the back seat:
Noa: “Mommy, Chi-chan coming over to my hou…OUR house?” See?!? all that gentle correction I had been giving was really making it’s way to her head!
But later in the week, overheard on the monitor while the girls were settling down to sleep at night:
Martha: cute-as-can-be baby babbles… that’s mostly all she can say these days!
Noa: “NO BAFFA! MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Mommy!!!!!!”
Oh goodness! I am constantly learning that I can train and correct all I want but I need to the Holy Spirit to work in the selfish heart of my two-year-old as much as I need Him to work on mine!

I wonder who Noa thinks is Baffa’s mommy?!? Won’t she be shocked to learn that mommies can have as many as nine kids (or more)?!?
Oh yes, Kathryn’s most favorite word right now, “my/mine”. Well, besides “goldfish”, which is her most favorite snack. Gotta love two-year-olds!
