Lauren is growing up

Lauren has coined some new phrases lately:

"Actually, . . ."
"Exactly!"
and my personal favorite,
"Are you kidding me?"

She sings the Dora the Explorer and Wonder Pets theme songs almost perfectly, with no help at all. It's actually pretty impressive, and so completely adorable.

This morning we had a big Saturday breakfast. We asked Ella to give the blessing on the food and, right in the middle of it, Lauren couldn't resist adding her own, very sincere, "And thank you for the bacons."
