Calm Down and a Christmas Program


Today Lily asked if the baby is in water in my tummy. I said “yes, the baby’s swimming.” She replied emphatically, “babies don’t swim in tummies, they swim in swimming pools! Silly mommy.”

Lily put Ryan to sleep tonight by singing him three songs (Twinkle, I like to look for rainbows, and John the Baptist) and then shut his door and said good night. It was very sweet. She also read “Brown Bear” to Ryan after I read it to him and surprisingly he sat through both readings. I never thought he’d be at the stage of listening to books read to him!

Yesterday Jeff and I were upset about something and Lily said to Jeff, “Daddy, just take a deep breath and calm down, ok? Take a deep breath, take a deep breath (Jeff finally took a deep breath), now calm down. Good job calming down daddy!”

Lily went with Jeff to get his haircut and she told him “good job for sitting still Daddy!”

Jeff put a lot of work into getting a Christmas program done for our ward. Our ward doesn’t have a choir so he had to start from scratch. We were already into December when he just sat down one day and figured out some songs to sing, called some people to play instruments, lead the choir, accompany, and sing in the choir and three practices later they did an excellent job. There was a great spirit and many people commented on what a great program it was. I was very proud of him and all the work he put into it and now he wants to keep a choir going and sing on occasion throughout the year, which seems like something people are really interested in doing.
