Last night Mara announced to us that she was married. Married. This was news to us!
So we asked about the lucky guy. “Who’s your husband?”
“My husband is far, far away,” she said convincingly. “In South Dakota. My husband is Grandma Bubben,” she informed us.
Sooooo–we realized that she’s not really understanding the whole “marriage” or “husband” concepts yet . . .

Mara [to me, while playing with her phone]: Be quiet now because I need to text Melissa. [Do I say that?]
Mara [on her phone to Melissa, all in one breath]: Hi Melissa, someone loves you and I’m your friend because I call you, and I paint a page [we did watercolor today], and see you next time! Bye!

One final “note”: we are trying to get our daughter to sing during nursery “song time.” They sing two songs–usually “My God is So Big” and “Hallelu, Hallelu.” Both of which we have practiced at home.
When Daniel and I were in nursery, she just sat there and stared and sucked her thumb–she didn’t sing a bit! So I decided to practice the songs with her at home to be sure she knew the words and the tune. Now we know she knows them.
So on Sunday night I asked her, “Did you sing in nursery tonight?”
“No,” she replied.”But Owen singed!” Owen always sings–very enthusiastically! 🙂 So . . . why not, Mara?
“I didn’t sing,” she repeated. “And I told Mommy in my room ‘next Monday I will sing.'”
I’m always a little confused when she inserts days of the week into her sentences, because she rarely does it properly.
So I just ignored that whole comment and asked, “Did they sing ‘My God is So Big’?”
“Yes!” she exclaimed.
“Do you remember the words?”
She sang the entire song–start to finish–with only a little bit of help. . .
So we are still left, trying to figure out what on the earth is going on inside her little head. . . and why she sits and stares and sucks her thumb during nursery song time.
