Let's Be Careful Out There

As Heather and Livvi were leaving the house to go to Tae Kwon Do class, I yelled to them "Be careful!"

Joie looks at me and says, "Daaaddy...There aren't any dragons there!"

Whew!  Good to know!

Compassion

Jo: I want a cat for a pet.

Liv: We can't! I'm allergic to cats.

Jo: Yeah, I know, but too bad.

 

Protection

Very early Sunday morning, the storm woke everyone up. I was laying with Joie since she was a little scared. After laying there for a couple of minutes, she said, "I'll protect you and you protect me."

Good Night

The usual routine when Livvi says good night to Joie:

Livvi: "Good night"
Joie: "Good night"

Livvi: "I love you"
Joie: "I love you"

Livvi: "Sleep good"
Joie: "Sleep good"

Livvi: "Nighty night"
Joie: "Nighty night"

Livvi: "Sleep tight"
Joie: "Sleep tight"

Livvi: "Don't let the bed bugs bite"
Joie: "OK"

The Problem with Homophones

Heather sent me an email this morning that read as follows:

"She (Joie) had me read the story of the prodigal son to her. At the end I asked: Why did the son leave? Her answer: To get the moon out.

Think about it..."

Inside the Mind of Joie

This morning, Joie was looking at Heather, squinting through one eye, head tilted. Her fingers were in a scissors motion in front of her face. Then she says, "I didn't really cut your head off, just pretend."

Should we be worried?

Another Tournament

Livvi entered into her third Tae Kwon Do tournament this past weekend.  We made the drive to Greensburg, IN and she entered three events: breaking, forms, and sparring.  She was disappointed in the results, but she seems determined to improve and try again.  She really loves this sport and she is really good at it.  She finished as follows:

No placing in breaking
3rd place in forms
2nd place in sparring

Here is some video of her events:
