After attending sacrament meeting with my family in Logan, for the blessing of our sweet nephew Lincoln we were asked to stand outside for a group picture. Caleb had had enough, so he explained to me, "No pictures, Mommy...I'm airsick." What a funny kid. I've never heard of airsickness from church, but perhaps that was the result of the paper airplanes that Nathan made out of the program.
I caught Caleb singing a song that he made up himself. It went like this..."I have popcicles, rainbow popcicles. They make me happy." He was so pleased with himself. It was so cute.
When Caleb told Nathan about his day he said, "Mommy put germs all over me." --I have no idea what he was referring to, but Caleb goes crazy when he feels sticky. At breakfast I usually just put a washcloth next to his plate (it's quicker than having him run to the sink multiple times during the meal).
I struggled to cut through a platic tie to get one of Caleb's birthday presents out, and Caleb asked, "Does that afflict you?" 'Afflict?' I've tried to figure out where my 4-year-old would have learned that word and all I can figure is maybe he's picking up on my from our scripture reading than I realize. Wow!
Liam came upstairs shortly after we put him to bed. He complained that he couldn't sleep because of the growing pains in his nose. Now I've heard it all.
Liam and Caleb saw a swingset at Walmart. It was roped and wired so that it couldn't be played on. Liam asked me, "Are those electric?" What a funny visual--a swingset with electric wire--it totally made me laugh. Then Liam, came back with, "Why don't you go sit on it?" He tried to say it so off-the-cuff, innocent. I guess I'll have to watch myself from now on. That little stinker.
Liam came upstairs one day and asked, "Did it really, really, really, really hurt when you had us as babies?" Where did he come up with that? I just told him that it hurts sometimes when you have a baby, but my boys are totally worth it. That seemed to satisfy him for now. I'm really not ready for 'that' talk.
We were looking at a picture book that had a picture of Christ with a lion (the Lion and The Lamb). Daniel leaned over and said, "I didn't know that Christ had a pet lion?!" What a cutie. My own Daniel in the Lions' Den liked that idea.
I just walked in on a conversation between Caleb and Liam. It went something like this... "Who builded the animals?" "Jesus builded them." "Yeah, He had to put in the right ingredients like, blood and guts and meat and some other slimey stuff." It sounds like they've got it all figured out. Boys, boys, boys!
