Amen!

Priya is at an interesting stage right now. We are having a difficult time getting her to keep her clothes and her diaper on during nap time and bed time and have subsequently been cleaning up some not-so-fun messes these days. I think we are getting closer and closer to potty training! I've been trying all sorts of things to make it more difficult for her to get her clothes off (ie. putting her button-up pj's on backwards, layering onesies under pj's, etc). Today I put her down for a nap in a shirt and tighter-fitting shorts, forgetting to add a layer to make it more challenging. Needless to say the result wasn't a good one... I won't be making that mistake again!

Her language is also just exploding these days! She loves to name everything she sees and is SO proud of herself when she names something new. She has recently done two things that we especially thought were incredibly cute and just had to share!

1) She likes to pray! She'll ask to pray before her meals and before she goes to bed. It started with her saying, "Dear Jesus, Amen!" and now she's adding words in the middle (unintelligible to us for the most part, but I'm sure they are something special to her). We were able to catch one version at dinner tonight. I think she's thanking Jesus for food. What a cutie!

2) Our little 22-month-old can count to 10!!! I wasn't able to capture it perfectly tonight, but I still thought the video was cute. She can count all the way to 10 on her own and then if we fill in 11 and 12 she'll say thirteen! She just added that yesterday. She is SOOO proud of herself! In this video she skips a few numbers but that doesn't keep her (or us) from being proud of her accomplishment. :)
