A learning experience (for me) with Lonna

Lonna: Where's mommy?
Me: She's not here right now.
Lonna: I need to ask her a question.
Me: You can ask me
Lonna: But sometimes you say no.
Me: What do you want to ask mommy?

At this point, I'm thinking to myself that whatever she asks for, I have to give it to her. So, I'm hoping that she doesn't ask for something outrageous or I'm going to have to find a way to do it.

Lonna: I'm hungry and would like a snack.
Me: Okay, what would you like?
Lonna: I'll show you.

She took me over to the snack cabinet and pointed to a chocolate swirll thing.

Of course I gladly got it for her.

Funny Phrases

I know it's been a while and I've meant to post a bunch of times, but it's just been busy. I have a couple of examples of Lonna's funny sayings. One is below and I'll try and write some others soon, as well as other things we've been up to.

We have been reading the Book of Mormon Reader to the kids at night and we have the videos for the van. One of Lonna’s favorite chapters is about the Liahona. One day she was asking LaDonna about the Liahona and the purpose. LaDonna told her "the Liahona told Nephi and his family where to go". Lonna said, "so it’s like the GPS".

We were impressed that she linked the two together.
