S-A-P spells Sap

The Hero (6) in spelling today;

S-A-T, sat.  Like… “I sat on this chair.”

S-A-N-D, sand, like… “sand on the beach.”

S-A-P, sap, like… “the guts of dead bugs on the tree trunk.”

Ha, ha ha!!!

This One Takes the Cake

The Punk (22 months) is such a card.  Seriously.  We almost can’t discipline the kid for laughing.  Almost.  Yesterday My Hub and I were having what you might call an animated… discussion at the dinner table (why is that so often the case on Sunday afternoons… someone tell me please???) And this guy, who sits between us at the head of the table (go figure) got right in there and saved the day.  As we were discussing back and forth, a little bit short with each other, all of a sudden I felt one little chubby hand grab my wrist, and saw the other chubby hand grab my husband’s sleeve and  this shrill little voice cut in;

"Hey!  Hey! Shhhhhhh…………”

I look over at him and he has this dead serious expression on his face, he points his chubby finger at my plate and commands,

“Eat!”

Oh did we laugh.

Even Though…

Love to hear The Rugrat (4) praying at length.  His prayers are a kind of narrative of the day, or even of the moment.  “Thank you Jesus that we are reading the bible, and putting our pyjamas on and going to bed, and the light is still on, and  my teddy is here on my bed (almost like he is describing what’s going on to God… smile)

The one that made me really laugh though was the other night when it was, “and thank you for my baby brother, I love him very much, even though he’s stinky.”

Classic.

In Case Jesus Comes

Overheard The Poppet (8) checking up on The Hero (6) this morning. 

The Poppet: “Did you clean your room?” (such a little mother hen)

The Hero: “M-hm.”

The Poppet: “Did you clean it with EXCELLENCE?”

The Hero: “I don’t know.”

The Poppet: “Well… you should go and make sure you cleaned it with EXCELLENCE.  You should do everything with EXCELLENCE, you know.  In case Jesus comes back today.” 

 

Awesome.  Preach it girlie.
