Loving Loryn

A picture is worth a thousand words. You know, it is important to children with Loryn's intensity to be taken seriously, but sometimes it's just so hard! Last weekend, she looked at me with tears welling in her eyes, and through clenched teeth and all the consternation she could muster, pointed an accusatory finger at me and said, "My life is always so hard because of YOU!" and then she turned her finger to Taylor and said, "And YOU!"

What can you say to that? Nothing. In fact, it took all my strength and self-discipline to keep from laughing because clearly she was passionate about what she was saying. But, let's face it, Loryn is passionate about everything she does. Nothing is half-hearted with this one.

And just as an unrelated sidenote, but something else I love about Loryn: still, at five years old, she refers to breakfast as "grefast" and the library as the "live berry". And despite hundreds of corrections and explanations, she still calls the remote control the "red remote." Even though our remote control is not red.
