Kids say the funniest things.....

After reading "Munchkin-isms" on another blog, I thought about those cute things our little man says and decided I should share.
One of the most recent was this: As he first opened his eyes one morning, Clayman said to his daddy, "We were playing golf at Brayden's golf course and Tiger Woods was there hitting balls milos away." This was of course with great excitement! Brayden's golf course is Ballantrae....because we pass the course going to the park with Brayden....also known as "Brayden's park". And as far as hitting a golf ball milos away....Well, he means miles. Maybe he's confused because mommy loves Milo's burgers and sweet tea :) What a fun dream though, wouldn't you say? A day of golf with Daddy and Tiger Woods- Clayman's favorite two golfers.

Another one of my favorites is "pilos"......or piles. Pilos of leaves, or laundry... And Pluto on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is "PluDog" to my sweet boy :)

Today he was screaming in the car because he wanted to ride with his MeMe. And I am talking about SCREAMING!! Just as I was thinking about pulling my hair out, he stops and says to Princess Ags, "I know you love me girl." As if no one else loves him because they wouldn't allow him to go home with MeMe!! What mean parents we are!!

And then, tonight, he was swinging at a friend's house and to no one in particular he says, "In and out, in and out, that's what my mommy told me." That's right baby! Move those feet in and out and in and out and you'll be swinging all by yourself :)

Even when the day seems like the toughest one yet as a mom, my Clayman says something to make me smile:)

SO....what can I say? God has given us one of His most beautiful creations. Thanks, friend, for capturing these adorable moments when I was away from my sweet girl today :)

a child of God....

I am always amazed at the things Clayman says. A couple of weeks ago, his first pet fish died. It was several days before he missed him and then the dreaded question was thrown upon me and I had no way out of it. "Where's my fish, mommy?" I explained that the fish died....just didn't want to live anymore....because he was very sick....all the while being asked question after question. I explained Heaven as a big birthday party- people dancing and singing, no pain or crying (I wish I had already read a book on this part of parenting, but I think I did alright).

A week later, "Coach" is out and about with our two precious gems and a friend too. The little buddy to Clayman mentioned that his daddy was in Heaven. The response heard from the third row seat was, "That's like a birthday party- wow!" I'm glad my boy could be a such a good friend and make his pal happy about the wonderful place where his father is!!

Tonight, we had another opportunity to talk about God. Our conversation began when we were counting in Spanish and then we moved right on to the fact that God knows how many hairs are on his head (amazing how one thing leads to another when you are in deep conversation with a kid who's three!)
Clayman was ready to go get the phone and call God! He wanted to know the number of the hairs on his head. I tried to explain that God doesn't have a phone that he can hear us without one and that if he needed to know the answer he would have to ask in a prayer. Whew! I'm glad we got distracted somehow cause that was a hard one!
