Hands

Reese has been loving on her hands lately. Most of the time, you can catch her sucking on them, eating them, or folding them. It's pretty cute, even when she is completing some pretty outrageous maneuvers like this one....

Here is Riley after an art project. She doesn't really care for messy hands, insisting that I clean them throughout the creation process.

Riley has also been using her hands lately for another activity - praying. Evidently, when you sign your child up for a religious preschool, this will happen. I pulled out the prayer sheet out of her backpack the other day after school. I started singing it and instantly she bowed her head and closed her eyes. Upon discovering that I wasn't doing the same, she stopped praying and instructed me to "close eyes." While watching Ellen the other day, I caught her praying again on the couch. I'm not sure what Ellen said to get her a-prayin' but she evidently felt called into action!
