"Do the worker guys live in that green truck?" (after they blew leaves late one afternoon and then collected them early the next morning)

| Is anyone else obsessed with their children? Ha! |
"Let's get down to business." (from Mulan)
"Favorite color?"
"Red."
"Favorite show?"
"Pokemon... that's what mine babysitter said." (He has never watched Pokemon with us, so I was REALLY confused.)
"Favorite person?"
"Daddy. I love mine daddy."
Amanda: "What do I do that shows you I love you?"
S: "You say no."
"So should I tell you no more often so you'll know I love you so much?"
"Yes."
Jared: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Amanda: "Get out of my head, Jared!"
Jared: "No, get out of my head..." (kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss)
S: "That's enough kissing."
Amanda: "What's your favorite thing in the whole wide world?" (Just before nap)
S: (whisper) Jesus.
Out of the blue, in the car: "Why did Grandma O die?" That led to a marvelous, enriching discussion. I hope these days of questions and discussing NEVER end with my children. Never.
While staring at his bare chest in the mirror, he sang merrily to himself: "...big nipples like big people have..." TMI?!?!?!
Prompted by his proclaimed favorite song from Mulan:
Amanda: "Mister, I'll make a man out of you! .... Who's going to make a man out of you?"
S: "I am!"
Amanda: "That's very true. No one can make you into the right man, but you. Not even daddy can make you a man. You have to. Daddy's still working on being a better man too, just like you'll have to do, and we all have to do our whole lives long."
S: "Why did Jesus go to heaven?"
Me: "Because he went to be with His Father. To watch over the world and take care of us from up there."
S "Heaven is Jesus' home."
Me: "Yes, mine too."
"I like your pretty hair, mom."
Me: "Why are you smiling? What makes you happy?"
S: "You do."
Prompted by our Joy School Rules Song. One of the verses sings, "We always use our walking feet when we're in the school house."
Me: "We always use our walking feet..."
S: "We always use our running feet when someone falls and needs a kiss!"
I don't think I've enjoyed being a mother as much as I'm enjoying it right now. My children are at two of the sweetest ages, experiencing earth-shattering growth right now. They teach me the mysteries of heaven, and then lead me by the hand there. I love them so much it aches. Thank God I am a mother to these two giant souls in tiny bodies!!
