G has had a couple of sweet and hilarious moments lately. I wanted to share them with you.
- About two mornings ago, I woke up wick with a sore throat and cold. He was in the bed with me and he says, “Mommy, you sick?” I replied, “Yea, baby, Mommy’s sick.” And, bless his little heart, he rolled right over and threw himself and his arm right over me and prayed. The only prayer he knows is the prayer he prays when we bless our food at mealtime. So that’s what he prayed over me. But the fact that he spontaneously just prayed for me like that when I was sick….it just…blew me away and blessed my heart so much.
- This particular story may offend some delicate sensibilities (JENNY – LIL’ SIS’) but I have to tell it…this afternoon G has been quite…um, gassy. Each time, he’d giggle and say, “Toot, toot, excuse me!” This happened repeatedly within a fifteen minute timespan. Then he was sitting next to me at the table, and he giggles again and says, “G’s really really toot toot!” I thought I was going to spit juice through my nose.
that is the perfect title! you are so creative!
1) I think I probably already told you this, but when I found out that my friend from Sunday School K died, LilKat1 came over and comforted me. He was 3 years old at the time. Kids are amazing.
2) One time over the summer, LilKat2 woke up in the middle of the night. I helped him go back to bed and tucked him in. He asked if I could lie down on his bed with him for a little while and I said yes. We were lying there for a couple of seconds when all of a sudden, I heard
pffffrrrbt…
He did a little toot. Not unusual, so we just kept lying there. Then he spoke up…
LilKat2: ‘Dad…what’s that smell?’
Me: ‘Huh?’
LilKat2: ‘Dad…there’s a stinky smell!’
Me: ‘It’s because you tooted.’
LilKat2: ‘Dad…smell the covers!’
At this point he’s lifting the covers up and wanting me to put my face in there to take a smell. Needless to say, this is something I didn’t want to do.
Me: ‘It’s because you tooted. That’s why it smells like that.’
LilKat2: ‘But Dad…it’s a stinky smell! Smell the covers.’
Me: ‘No, I don’t want to do that. It just smells like that because you tooted.’
Now, I have to explain to him about gas and how people burp and fart. At midnight! And I can tell he’s confused because gas is something that you put into your car.
