Noemi's first prayer (which I regrettably don't have on video) is when she thanked God for "ketchup, mustard, ketchup, mustard, mustard and ketchup." Well done, baby. Nothing is a more genuine prayer for a 2-year-old than that.
Since that celebration of condiments, Donovan and I have tried to get video of her saying "grace" at the dinner table. But she's on to us and is refusing to say much of anything these days. oops. Way to kill a good thing, mom. So...this is what we have to date but we'll keep trying for more. We eat a lot of grilled cheese and tomato soup now that she is a part of our lives. Somehow me slaving over eggplant rollatini just doesn't happen with the frequency that it did before Little Miss Busy Booty came along.
It's hard not to miss how annoyed she was that I, too, said "amen." Heaven forbid, my dear. Don't cross my girl--she has chutzpah.

Awesome! Dawit does the same thing-- clams up at the first sight of a video camera (grrr...)
And prayer time?? Same thing there too, "Mom! Don't say amen!!! I say amen!!!.... thank you God and amen." LOL! (are these two meant for eachother or what? ;)
But you've inspired to me keep trying. Hidden Camera B-P style!
Chutzpah and grace in the same post. Ahhh - you are a girl after my own heart! I bust out laughing at your girl's antics. Every time. I swear I am not laughing at her, but giggling at the amount of sass your gal can muster. Adore her. And I think yours and D's calmness, in comparison to her fire, makes it all the more amusing to watch!
I love this!
Hi,
Just thought I'd leave a note and tell you that we, too, belong to the yahoo group that's meeting in Lancaster in March. We've never attended an event. I'm thinking we may be able to attend. I found your blog interesting as our daughter is from Dire Dawa and our son is from Dessie. I found information about both regions on your site, specifically through AAI. Thanks so much.
