Miriam is still the sweetest little girl I've met, and everywhere we go she seems to charm anyone we meet. The following stories are two adorable excerpts that I don't want to forget about my angel child.
Story One
[Setting - Immediately following my graduation's convocation ceremony where Elder Neil L. Anderson spoke, Linda and I went to the restroom while the men waited with Miriam in the hallway.]
When Elder Anderson came out of the chapel, he saw Miriam and commented to Owen about how pretty she is.
Miriam, matter-of-factly replied with a smile and her cute little "Hi!"
Elder Anderson was so charmed that he then shook her hand and said "Hi!" back. Imagine that?!! A one-year-old getting to shake the newest apostle's hand!
Story Two
[Background - It is quite common for Southerners to choose original nicknames when they become grandparents rather than just being Grandpa ________ and Grandma ________. Owen's parents are known as Grammy and Grampy to their grandkids.]
For months we have been trying to get Miriam to say either Grammy or Grampy, with no such luck. The other night I thought I'd try one more time to get her to say Grampy. She didn't say anything, but rather, gestured the sign for 'grumpy'. Not noticing at first, I kept prodding her to say "Grampy" and she just kept scrunching up her little hand in front of her face. Once I realized what she was doing, I pointed it out to everyone else and we all had a good chuckle. Hopefully Grampy doesn't take it personally and think that Miriam finds him grumpy, because he certainly isn't.
