L2 with his fork poised over peach cobbler: Is it very yummy or a smaller yummy?
Where are the mountains?
Driving through the country roads of Delaware…
J: Mommy, where are the mountains?
Me: They’re in Colorado.
J: I want God to move the mountains so we can see them here too.
A few minutes later…
J: A mountain! Mommy, we can pretend the trees are mountains!
Song Lyrics
One of the kids praise CDs included the song “Hallelu, Hallelu…. Praise Ye the Lord!” I attempted to teach the boys how to stand up/sit down and sing it, but we didn’t get very far with the concept. They remembered it, none the less, as illustrated by L2’s comment a few days later.
L2: “Mommy! I’m “‘lula!”
L1: “And I’m ‘Crazy the Lord!'”
Eating Napkins
L1 (whining): Mommy, I don’t want to eat my napkin.
Me (confused, but giving the simple answer): Fine. Don’t eat your napkin.
L1 (still whining): But Mommy, why can’t I eat my napkin???
L2: Because it’s a napkin! It’s not food!!!
