the things they say...

Eleanor told Todd tonight she was afraid of giants. How does she know about giants?! Wise Daddy told her they were just pretend, and that she could squish them in her mind (insert sound effects and hand motion). Eleanor laughed, "I can?!" Todd said over the next 10 minutes she would randomly pause what she was doing and "squish" a giant! Poor girl, she must have kept having the thoughts pop into her head...but she knows what to do! *grin* On a more serious note, you would not believe the questions this girl asks about spiritual things. Like this one in the middle of the night recently: "But what if I don't like what God knows is best?" Or, "Will some people not go to Heaven when they die? Why?" What opportunities to talk about the Gospel and the character of God with our little girl!

Will is enjoying telling "jokes". Like this, "ABCD...Daddy Jack!" or "ABCD...doggie!" or "ABCD...lamp!" You get the idea! Then tonight he came up with a new one as were reading a bedtime story about dump trucks - "Dirty book!" He did get a good laugh from us on that one!

Jack, sweet Jack, his hair getting long enough to stick up like little duck fuzz, laughing and smiling all the time, content as can be.

All's well on the kid front.
