I'm. . .

Faithy Baumberger.

This is a new stage for Faith. If we call her something silly, such as "You're a stinker," she'll say, "I'm not a stinker; I'm Faithy Baumberger."

My favorite example happened one evening when the girls and I were reviewing the Bible story about Jesus restoring the soldier's ear that Peter had cut off. Hope was pretending and said, "Here Faith, will you put my ear back on?" Faith replied, "I'm not Jesus; I'm Faithy Baumberger."
