Isaac said, "Mom I am looking at the sun." I then said, "Isaac don't look at the sun." Elise explained, " Isaac don't look at the sun! It will give you a sunburn!"
January 2014:
Isaac: I'm gonna be a dad before Grace is a mom.
Me: oh really?
Isaac: yes I know it
Me: well you have to find a good wife first. A woman who loves Jesus.
Isaac: (while playing) God already has one for me.
While reading Big Red Barn (by Margaret Wise Brown) to the kids, Elise saw a picture of a cow and asked about its udders. I explained their purpose - that they provide milk for calves and humans, too. I said, "Grace drinks milk from Mommy and baby cows drink milk from Mommy cows." Isaac then responded, "Except that Jesus makes your milk, Mom."
February 2014:
While listening to "Lord, I Need You" (by Matt Maher) with Elise, she said, "Mommy, it's sad to be alone, but God is always with us. If there's anybody that doesn't have a mommy or daddy, God will be their Daddy!"
March 2014:
While we were dancing around to some worship music, Elise said, "God is in my heart!" ... followed by, "He's where my food is!"
I asked Elise if she wanted to sit on the chaise on our deck. (The chaise is designed for outdoor use and has wheels so it can be moved easily.) She asked, "Why do they call it a chaise?" I said I wasn't sure... Isaac then piped up and said, "I know why. Because it has wheels. And you can use it to chase people."
Isaac and Elise were playing together upstairs, and I overheard Isaac say, "OK, everyone let's stand together and worship." Then I hear the preprogrammed keyboard playing the intro to "I can show you the world" from the Aladdin sound track. And then "Fur Elise". I love the creativity in his worship set.
Elise: Mommy, you HAVE to catch me when I go down the slide at the pool. Because if I go into the water, I will... (what's the word?) ... oh yeah, I will DRAIN!
