Reminders of Jesus

My mother in law Lois recently found a stuffed animal lamb that Raleigh had when he was born. Its a Gund and plays "Jesus Loves Me". The boys sat it on the kitchen table (because that's where stuffed animals go - - right??) and Will cranked it up at dinner tonight. He said, "Mom - this reminds me about Jesus. Lets make this our new tradition. We'll play this every night so we can be reminded about Jesus." I was getting ready to get his milk when he began his prayer, "Lord, thank you for this day. Lord, thank you for letting us think about you with this little sheep here...that's fake. Amen."
:)

Prayer for the night

"Lord, we just love you and respect you. Lord, you talk to us in the Bible and we talk to you by saying our prayers. Amen.

Smart Will or not....you be the judge!

Example of Smart Will: He currently has a double ear infection with one of his ears really hurting him badly. I asked him how it was on the way home and he said, "Not too good, Mama. My ear just keeps getting dumber and dumber."
????
He then went on to say, "My ear is getting dumber and dumber. It thinks I'm laying down but I'm really sitting up!"
!!! Oh, that's what he meant. I think that is a really good way of trying to explain that your equilibrium is off - - especially for a 5 year old!

Example of not: Earlier Will was leading us in a cheer, "Give me an A. Give me a U. Give me an S. What does that spell? ASU!"

Now...you be the judge!

What??

I got a Lego Advent Calendar at the store today so Will has been talking about Christmas. He said, "Do you be-member what we do every year...what Jesus wants for his birthday?" Ummm...I think he meant "What God Wants For Christmas" - a Christmas Eve tradition for us.

He then said, "I know what he what he wants. He wants us!!....Why does he want us?"

Will is notorious for telling me something and then asking a question about it.

He then asked, "I wonder how old Jesus is now? I be-member that he had a short orange beard. And now we live in the olden days...or is it the new days?"

What????

I believe that Will enjoys hearing himself talk and has no filter from his brain to his mouth.. *lol*
