I just have to write this down so that I don't forget... Lilia said the funniest thing tonight and it may have been her first true intentional joke! A little background so that you understand...
Tonight after baths we were gathering all of the kids into Lilia's room for our evening family prayer and of course it was chaos as usual. Ivy was jumping all over the place, Joel was trying to crawl out of Cliff's arms, and Lilia was running up and down the hallway pretending to be "Elsa" from the movie "Frozen," and making comments about how she "had to keep her power inside, and that she just didn't want to hurt anyone else!" Pinning her down for a prayer was all but impossible. We finally got her into the room and she went immediately over to Joel to kiss on him and give him a few cuddles. He was laughing and drooling up a storm and when Lilia finally pulled away from him her whole arm was covered in drool. Cliff wiped her up a little and I wiped the rest off and made the comment that "it was a good thing that she wasn't bothered by drool" and she replied "drool never bothered me anyway - COMPLETELY DEADPAN. Cliff and I were nearly in tears, laughing so hard. What a little ham!
(This is a reference to the song, "Let it Go" from "Frozen.")
