Mattie Sims for the Mommy's Soul

This week while giving MSK her nightly bath, I have tried to sing various gospel songs. Much to my  surprise she sang them all, even the ones I thought would be new to her. I could help to think of my childhood at Tremont First Baptist and all the songs from childhood choir with Mrs. Susan Harp and Mr. Bobby Canup came flooding back. How it warmed this Mommy's heart when Mattie Sims stood up out of that water to join me in " The Lord's Army." (Complete with motions). So this morning while trying getting ready for church we started singing "This Little Light of Mine," MSK insisted everyone hold up their light....even Dixie Belle (the dog). We tried to explain that she didn't know the song, but to MSK that just meant she needed to learn!!! This pic gives just a glimpse of a very intense music lesson. But what good it does for this Mommy's soul to hear her baby sing just sweet songs and sharing her Light.

Zoo Day(s)

Wow, have got us an animal lover! From watching the ants move a crumb to every dog, car, lizard, etc that may scuttle by Mattie Sims loves them! What a better way to expand her love then to take her to the Memphis Zoo and Tupelo Buffalo Park. She loved them both. And how much fun did we all have watching her. We might just have us a vet on our hands. Of course, her daddy has already told her she will have to go to Auburn, he isn't paying MSU! Ha
