What are you saying, Davis?

Yesterday Davis was trying to tell me something that he wanted and I couldn't figure out what he was trying to say. It sounded like "shawwk", and he kept saying it over and over again. I kept saying "what are you saying, Davis? Straw? (he had dropped his straw outside on the ground just a minute before)" And he said, "No, shawwk" I asked, "shark?" And he said "NO, shawwk." So I asked him, "Can you spell it for me?" He said, "um . . . S . . . no, . . . C . . H . . A . . L . . K!" Ohhhh, chalk! I squealed with delight at my darling boy, and gave him a huge hug and a kiss. I couldn't believe that he actually could spell what he wanted. We wrote the alphabet outside with his sidewalk chalk for the next hour. :)

He is so smart, I can't believe it! The funniest part is that you can't always understand what he is saying but he can always spell it out. :)

Hi, I don't know if you remember me, but I was in the University ward with you guys. I was blog surfing and found yours. I can't believe your little baby is two, and so smart too!! That is amazing. And you are going to have an other baby? Sometimes I think I see you at Good Earth in Riverdale, but I am never sure, so I have never said hi. I am so happy to see that you guys are doing so well. You look like you are all happy and busy. I am glad, I always thought you were so sweet. I always looked up to you. I don't know if you know, but there was a time when I was having such a hard day at church and I wanted to go home, but I said a prayer, and right when I got done, you came up to me and just started chatting!! It made my day! Anyway, Congradulations on the new baby.
