Little Voice

Lauren is growing more and more independent. Just recently she started voicing out what she wants. Usually on weekends, when Lauren wakes up we bring her to our bed so Sheila and I can get a little more sleep (what used to be sleeping in before we had Lauren). Anyway, after about 10 to 15 minutes in bed with Lauren tossing and turning trying to get us to wake up we usually ask her if she wants to eat breakfast. She usually didn't answer but willingly went downstairs to the kitchen to eat. Now, she tells us "eat!" before we even ask her! And when we get to the kitchen, she points and asks for her Lucky Charms cereal. For dinner she will ask for "rice". Yes, she actually says "rice". She loves fried rice.
