Live to Worship…Worship to Live

My 2-year old daughter, Raley, has ZERO confidence issues. She’s such a cutie pie and makes me laugh often. This past weekend she proved just how confident she is in a conversation at the dinner table. Here’s how it went -

We’re sitting at the dinner table eating and a fly zoomed past my head. I HATE flies and my family knows it so Raley said to me, “Mommy – there’s a ‘fwy’ – you need to smat it.” I said, “You’re right.” So I got up, pulled the fly swatter down from on top of the refrigerator and pursued to take out all my violent urges on one small fly. He fought a good fight but I won. Upon the fly’s death, I threw my hands in the air to celebrate my victory. Raley smiled and said, “Mommy, you did good. You did REAL good with that ’smy fattuh’.” I stopped, shook my head in confusion not being convinced I heard her right, and said, “What?” Raley proceeded to repeat herself – “You did REAL good with that ’smy fattuh’.” I realized what she was saying and smiled. But I HAD to hear it one more time so I said, “Say it again, Bugaboo. What is this?” as I held up the fly swatter. To which my extremely self-confident 2-year old replied, “Mommy. Mommy – say, ’smy’.” I said, “smy.” And she said, “fattuh.” I said, “fattuh.” Raley smiled at me and said, “Smy fattuh!” 

This is the confidence of Raley Elizabeth….
