Oh the things that come out of kids' mouths!
One night this week, Anna woke up in the middle of the night with one of her habitual nose bleeds. After getting her cleaned up, sheets and pajamas changed, etc., I kissed her goodnight again and asked if she wanted me to turn her music back on (she listens to a Dreamscapes CD to help her fall asleep at night). In a drowsy, but matter of fact tone she replied, "If I hear music tonight I would get up and dance so I don't want music tonight." :)
To kick off the new year we decided to start a mini allowance program with Anna. Desiring that she learn the value of money at an early age we explained the three ways that she will be able to use the money she earns. In attempting to explain tithing, we told her that she'd now be able to take her very own money to church to give some of what she earns back to Jesus. To which she quickly replied, "So that He'll be able to buy lots of fun things for us to play with in Heaven???." Hmmm---we had a little more explaining to do on this one. :)
Today I had to take Anna to Children's Urgent Care for a heel laceration that wouldn't stop bleeding. (Which by the way, since she has a history of prolonged clotting times, she officially now has a hematology consult ordered). :( While they were working with her she of course was not happy and was crying. During this ordeal, John Caden would look at me occasionally and say proudly, "Mommy, I'm not crying." Talk about rubbing salt in an open wound! I'm sure as her cries increased with intensity with each of John Caden's boasts, she was thinking, "Of course you're not crying, it's not your hurt foot!!!"
John Caden has another little funny saying going on---anytime he's about to do something he knows that he's not supposed to do he'll say in a serious voice, "Mommy, don't see me." If only it would always be this easy and he'd give me a heads up on when he's about to sin! :)
