God knows everything
an example of why I love bedtime snuggles with the kid...
the kid: mommy, did you know that God knows everything?
me: yes. He does. isn’t that awesome?
the kid: yeah. He knows how many pieces of grass there are in the. WHOLE. world.
me: yep.
the kid: and He knows how many hairs are on your head (pats the top of my head).
me: mm hmm.
the kid: and He knows what we’ll eat for breakfast tomorrow. and what I’m going to be when I grow up.
me: yeeees.
the kid: and how many boogers are in your nose (giggle)
me: yes. ‘cause He knows everything. and do you know what else He knows?
the kid: what else?
me: He knows it’s time for us to go to sleep.
the kid: gee. that was tricky. okay, good night.

mommy's character
the kid: I'm going to create another character so you can play. this one's going to be a girl. you're okay with being a girl, right?
me: yeah, I'm pretty sure I can handle being a girl.
the kid: yeah. 'cause you're already a girl. so that's good.
me: yeah, I'm pretty sure I can handle being a girl.
the kid: yeah. 'cause you're already a girl. so that's good.
hard work pays off
the kid has been working very hard to earn an allowance and save his money to buy an xbox360, and after we counted his money last night, we determined he was about $100 away from his goal. his grandpa came over this morning, not knowing this, and handed him an envelope with $100 in it.
the kid counted out the money, and got an astonished look on his face... "one HUNDRED dollars! oh, thank you, Pa!" he had tears in his eyes as went over to give his grandpa a huge hug. he then turned to me and asked, "after Pa leaves, can we go get my xbox360? PLEASE?" Pa wasn't about to make his grandson wait, so we climed into the car and went shopping.
I'm so proud of him for being willing to wait until after his pa left and didn't try to push him out the door... and Pa was eating up all the hugs that were showered on him.

wiggler
yesterday afternoon I was wondering if the kid is going to have his baby teeth when he goes to college - "not even a wiggle yet". then last night, as he was chattering non-stop, I noticed that one of his lower front teeth wasn't quite in line with the others. yep! we've got a wiggler!
