I feel like Grace says something I want to write down like everyday lately. Here are a few:
"Mom, don't you wish we had a Handy Manny in our world to fix everything? (Pause) Well, we do have one. Daddy is our Handy Manny!"
"Mom, if Gramy was in Mom-o's tummy whose tummy was Mom-o in?" (Mom-o is my grandmother. I responded Gramy without thinking because that is what we called my great-grandmother. Than I tried to explain that she was in Heaven with Jesus) Grace's response "So, can we go visit her soon?"
"Parker, if you want to go to Heaven to be with God you have to love Jesus with your whole heart." Parker's Response: "I know that." (Parker is 5)
Jeremy baptized a student on Saturday. Grace was asking lots of questions about this. I explained that when you love Jesus with you whole heart and want to follow him you can be baptized when you are old enough. To which she replied, "I don't want to get baptized! I don't want my head to go under the water!!" (She was quite emphatic about that)
When asking about our neighbor:
"Mama who are those boys who live at Miss Donna's house?" I explained that Aaron is her son. To which she replied, "NO, mama the big boss what is his name?" (The big boss is what Grace uses to refer to the daddy.)
"Mama, papa said he is going to buy me a little basketball and I can practice drills in the driveway!" (I'm pretty sure she has no idea what a drill is, or she wouldn't be so excited)
Grace continues to have a lot of questions about Heaven including:
Can I take my horse there? Will my dolls be there? When will we come back to our yellow house? Will there be flowers to pick in Heaven? What does our house in Heaven look like? When are we going? How long will we stay there?......
Faith also had a funny moment. I finally finished getting out their spring/summer clothes. The first morning Faith woke up wearing a set of summer pjs she kept saying "Swimmin suit." over and over. I finally figured out she wanted to wear her pjs all day because she thought they were a swimming suit because the top had spaghetti straps.
