Lucy's favorite song right now is "He's got the whole world in His Hands." I sing it to her every night as I am putting her to bed. She never wants me to go out, so she is always offering creative things for me to add to the song. It is getting longer and longer but she is so cute. We say He's got Lucy (or Lucy Mei Mei, Sucy, Lucy Lulu) , GeGe, Bin Bin in his Hands, Mommy and Daddy, Grandpa, Nai Nai, Nana, Bop, Uncle Jason, Uncle John and Mark (always those two together), Aunt Emmy, Char, Baby Grace and Harrison, Baby Paige and Molly (friends in the neighborhood), Jason Angie Bree and Jesh. But it gets even more creative...now she adds (this is mostly on her own intiative too) cats and doggies, sun and moon, gogo (yogurt) and granola, strawberries, juice and milk and water, the pink room (molly's room next door), the jump (Molly's new trampoline), snakes, lions and tigers and "Spider shu shu" all in His Hands, to name a few.
This week Chris has been gone- on a trip to the States. And she keeps coming up with creative ways to sing about Daddy- someone misses her Daddy. First it was "Daddy on airplane" (I think she might still think he is on an airplane- for the past 4 days). Then Chris got a stomach bug and threw up his first 36 hours there (missing the first of a 3 day conference he traveled all the way to attend). So we were praying for Daddy to feel better. She actually said her first prayer at breakfast the other day. "Daddy (something unintelligible) feel better. Amen." Then she wanted me to sing "daddy feel better in His Hands". Then today she kept saying "poor daddy." I guess I was saying that around her! Tonight we sang "He's got poor Daddy in His Hands." Fortunately Chris is doing better than he was, but keep praying for a full recovery and help with jetlag on such a trip. We are really looking forward to his return and he is bringing Nai Nai back with him for a visit! We are all looking forward to that.
