That's the reminder I need as I see my kids' childhood slip away day by day while I am transfixed by lesser things. I don't know why exactly, but I am awake now and laughing at the incredibly funny things my children say. There's nothing more entertaining than kids!
Me: Nick, I need to cut your fingernails. They're long.
Nick: They're not wong.
Me: Look at me. Say "lllllong" not "wong." (At that moment I wondered what on earth I was thinking. I LOVE how he says long. I held my breath as I waited for him to say it the 'right' way.
Nick: Or I could just say biggew. (translation: bigger).
********************************************************************
Me: Who knows how God made woman?
Ben: I know! He took a rib from Adam…and an elbow.

Nick: Would it be okay if I made a mess if I clean it up?
Love the photo, so beautiful. Thanks for the reminder to appreciate the small things! XO
How did you answer Nick? I would have said, “Can I watch, or help you make the mess?” I also love the elbow one from Ben. Such beautiful grandchildren I have
Still waitin’ for an update from you! 🙂 🙂 XOXO
