Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

"Star Fish"

Emily has so many signs that she does. Among her favorite are the aquarium animals, such as shrimp, dolphins, whale, definitely fish (she's been doing that one forever) and starfish. Starfish is probably the one she signs the most because every time she sees a star she signs "star" but says "starfish". We're still working on the fact that it is a two part sign. I think that is probably a little difficult for a 2-year-old. But Meredith has even started to sign it too, and it is sooo adorable. I tried for a few minutes to get it on camera, but didn't quite get the whole sign. I'm just not fast enough. But you can see the very last part of her signing it at the first of this video. I tried to ask her to do it again, but half way through asking her to do it I realized that she would not. So, I just turned off the video. But it is still very cute.
