While Ed was away on business for 3 weeks last month Livy found one of my wedding pictures. I saw her looking at it and she happily exclaimed, "Daddy! Mommy! Temple!" I took the picture out and told her that yes that was Mommy and Daddy and we are standing in front of the temple. I told her that we got married there and pointed out my white dress and flowers.
Since then, she asks for me to buy her a white dress so she can get married. And not to forget the flowers that she needs to hold!
A few Sundays ago we used the lovely bribing technique to get Livy to stay in Nursery at church. She used to go without any problems, in fact she would head in and wave for us to leave. For several months now, she screams and hold onto us like the world was ending. We have tried everything to help her to stay with her friends so we could attend Sunday School but have felt frustrated at leaving a screaming child.

During Sacrament Meeting, Ed told her that if she went to Nursery and didn't cry that we would go to the Temple. A little skeptical that this would work I took her to Nursery where she made no complaint. She sat down with her friends and looked at books. Her teachers informed me that she didn't cry and played very happily.
After nap, we told Livy that we needed to get ready to head to the temple. She very excitedly shouted, "Temple! Yeah! White dress and hold flowers! Get married!" Multiple times I had to tell her that no you were not going to get married today. She still insisted on wearing a white dress and holding flowers! (And not forget the "princess hat!")
After failed attempts of taking her picture, we told her she could go see the temple. She was super excited and ran off to temple grounds.
We enjoyed a nice walk through the gardens. I thought it was cute that she kept asking her Daddy for a key to the temple so she could go inside.
Peaches thinks all brides are princesses! However, she's skipped wanting to be one. Instead she talks about the TWO babies in her tummy. Bobbert (Robert, I think) and Dora.
ReplyDeleteApparently her friend has two babies in her tummy too, 'but they don't have real names'.
I love Livvy's tiara!
That is too charming - maybe she'll be a bride for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute in her white dress and tiara.
