Leanna Joy is Precious and Entertaining as a 1 year Old!

Leanna Joy is almost 2 years old, and has brought so much love and laughter to our home! She is always entertaining us with her new "words and ways" and we are so blessed by her. She usually stays at home with us for the most part, but enjoys her weekly outings to church and monthly outings to play with some friends. She has enjoyed designing her own creations throughout our home with markers that were accidentally left out by her big brother. So now I have new "green" carpet in the office room, and colorful markings on some walls around the house. Thank goodness for "majic erasers" and that our carpet needs to be replaced anyway! Leanna enjoys singing and dancing, especially to her theme song......."I've got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in my heart".......she even says "Where" and holds her arms out and shrugs her shoulders just at the right time. It is adorable and she sings many other songs too and loves to dance to all types of music. She also loves our daily walks outside, and playtime in the backyard. She loves to chase bubbles, kick the balls, and is pretty good at catching them too. During the morning hours, she helps me with my chores and is great with "sorting" laundry and breaking a few dishes too! One day last week, I was helping Lindsey with her spelling assignment, and she was looking for a word in her book that was a synonym to disobedient. Leanna was being a little "difficult" at that time, and I said to Lindsey, "Your sister is being 'naughty' or 'disobedient' right now. Leanna looked straight at us in pure delight and said, "Thank You" and we all started laughing hysterically. Oh, the things we hear from the mouths of babes! She is so funny and cute at this age!
