Just like Mommy...

Payton's "new" thing is to try to copy everything we are doing...kinda scary! A few nights ago, I was just chillin' on the couch, and Payton decided to do the same. It was so cute. She wanted up on the couch, and then wiggled herself into a comfortable spot, and threw her arms up over her head like I had been doing. Such a "big" girl, she thought!

SO ticklish!!!

After church yesterday, Robb put a comfy Duren Roofing t-shirt on Payton before her nap. She found my shoes (all on her own!). She was SO proud of herself clomping around in my shoes! We were laughing so hard! They have a low heel, but on the wood floors, they are pretty loud, which made it all the more exciting! Quite the outfit, huh?!

I still remember playing dress-up with my mom's "high" heels...kind of a nostalgic moment to see my daughter doing that with my shoes! It brought this song to my mind: (my mind just switched the "he" to a "she"!)

I Want To Be Just Like You - Phillips, Craig & Dean

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me

Lord, I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
That my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
'Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I've got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that You know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right
But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all.
