Riddles
I love how talking to a child helps you see the world in a whole new way. Liv has always made up a new vocabulary for anything that she doesn't already have a name for. For example: when she was 2, a bath = "tubby", a lake= "big tubby", and thus, a boat= "tubby truck."

Here are a couple of riddles she has given me in the last few days-
1. "Mommy, I want you to sing the 'knees are gray' song."- I had no idea what she was talking about, even though she insisted that I sing it to her all of the time. So, to help me remember, she started singing it. It goes something like this-
"I am a Child of God and so my knees are gray =0)."
for those of you who don't know this children's song, this line actually says-
"I am a Child of God and so my needs are great...."

2. For the last few days, Liv has been telling me she wants to wear her "rhyming jacket." Yesterday I figured out which jacket she was talking about but still had no idea why she thought it was "rhyming." This morning I figured out her logic =0).
It is so fun to see what details these kids pull out of the world. I probably would have called this her pink rain coat..... or maybe her pink wind breaker.... or even her pink jacket with the hood. But I must admit it is a "rhyming jacket" =0)
