Have you taken the time to watch the leaves fall?

I took a break in the middle of that last post to watch the leaves fall with LittleMum. We've got a big tree outside of our sliding glass door, and the leaves have turned yellow and started to fall. I was surprised to see that many of the leaves had already fallen, and decided that we'd not have leaves on the tree too much longer. As we sat there, we'd round our mouth with a sharp intake of breath as we saw one fall, and then LittleMum would say "one time," then "two times," etc. She'd start over when she reached ten... "Ten times..." "One time..."

We read the scriptures a bit after that. LittleMum is funny when we read scriptures; she'll point to one verse, and then a totally different page and different verse for me to read. So of course it makes little sense because it's not in order, but reading the "scrip-ures" is something she really enjoys.

We also waved to our shadows on the floor. LittleMum had her hair up in pigtails again today, and I asked her who's shadow she was waving to, and she said it was "Mei's shadow."

And lastly, here's a contribution from LittleMum:
