Kid Moments

Quite a few times lately I have thought "I should record that", about something one of the kids has done, so I decided to do that here :).

Bryton (5) was playing in our new forested back yard and picked up what looked like a piece of black plastic pipe. He holds it up from about 50 yards away and asks, "What is this?" I tell him I'm not quite sure. He drops it down and says, "Oh well, it's probably just from the Indians."

Gavyn (7) offered to say the prayer last night before bed. He prays and then adds, "We thank thee for a Mom who Rocks.......and a Dad who Rocks too." I smiled as he closed and said thanks. He said, "Well you do!" (A sweet compliment when I wasn't feeling like a such a great parent right then). I told him I had some pretty "rockin" kids too. He says "Yeah, when we are listening to music and dancing."

Cayd (3) is potty training. He had gone poop and I had just helped him wipe. I told him to put on his underwear while I hurried to the door, a neighbor just showed up. Of course, he comes running out naked from the waist down, and I excuse myself to cover his "special parts". I return and he comes running up saying he wants to go outside and tries to run out just in underwear. I say, "you have to have on pants and shoes and socks to go outside." Now as a sidenote, in the past these weren't always required, especially shoes, but in our new home there are lots of ant piles, wasps on the ground, and all sorts of new things that bite, cut and sting, so more clothing is a neccesity. He runs off and is back a minute later in underwear and his Lightning McQueen shoes ready to head out. The scenario continues step by step until he finally has on underwear,  pants and shoes. Everytime he comes bouncing out like, "Look, I'm all ready" :). I love little ones!!! I keep telling Bryan that he is at the age where you could video everything he says and does, because it is so cute.
