Scene: Mia and I were looking at a picture of a zebra
Mia: A zebra! Zebra running!
Me: Oh? Where is he running?
Mia: Granddads.
Me: Granddads?
Mia: Yes, Granddad needs zebra.

Scene: Mark, Mia and I were eating dinner and talking about kids.
Me: Hey Mia, who are Mommy's kids?
Mia: Mia!
Me: Who else?
Mia: (thinks for a minute) Daddy!
******************************************************************
Scene: Mia and Daddy are playing Hide and Seek. Mark hides in the office and Mia finds him. Mia then goes to hide -- always in the SAME exact place that Mark hid.
Mark: Wheeeeere's Mia? Is she in the kitchen?
Mia: NO! In the office!
Mark: Hmm... not in the kitchen. Maybe she's in the bathroom!
Mia: No, in the office!
Mark: Oh no! Daddy can't find Mia! Where's Mia?
Mia: Daddy! Mia's in the office!
Obviously we need to help her understand the game a little more.

This one is a bit more serious. We've been talking a lot about praying and the things we can pray for (when someone's sick, something we're worried about, etc). Well one day Mia had an icky (kicky in Mia-ese) nose and I was explaining to her that we needed to not touch Micah's face or hands because we could get her sick. Here was her prayer before lunch:
Dear Lord, thank you for this day and this food. And please help baby Micah not get sick. Jesus name Amen!
Wow... that spoke volumes. She's really understanding it and putting it into practice.
Mia -- Our greatest prayer for you, sweet girl, is that you'll love God with all your heart and call on His name. You are obviously well on your way. We can't wait to see how you'll grow in the years to come.
