Prayers, Boogers, Brown and Smoquitos!

Connor: 'Can I have some spider juice?'
Me: 'Huh? What's spider juice?'
((He was thinking....))
Finally he says 'Ya know... spider juice... apple spider...' ((read: CIDER)) hahahahaha :) I laughed soooo hard!!

I read the Easter story from the Bible this past weekend. When I read about how badly Jesus was treated, Connor commented with a scowl, "That's not nice!!"

I love Connor's prayers! Sometimes cute, sometimes serious... always honest & sincere. A few of his recent prayers: "Thank you, God, that we are people" and "Thank you, God, for taking my headache away." The second, he was thanking in advance, which is soooo amazing to hear :)

Connor: "Mommmyyyyy..."
Me: "Yeah?"
Connor: "I'm in here going poop, so don't come in here, it stinks.." (LOL hahahahaha)

Connor was picking his nose (haha): "C'mon, boogers! Come out of there! I don't want you in there.. you're all scratchy.." OMG! LOL!!

One night when it was a nice day, we went outside to jump on the trampoline, only the mosquitos were out and were starting to eat me up. Connor called them "smoquitos." hahaha... Spanglish right there... hehe

Last week, I was working on Sight Words with Connor and the word "pretty" came up, he said it and I said, "Hey.. pretty.. that's me!" He said, "Yeah!" A few words after that, the word "brown" came up and he said, "Hey.. brown.. that's me!" We both started laughing... he's really so proud of it. It was so cute that he commented like that :)

We pray before bedtime... Connor does most of the praying, then he'll say "Okay, your turn." :) So one night, his prayer was very short, then we said Good Night, I shut the light off and walked out of the room. Within a few minutes, I hear him say, "Mommy, I forgot to pray.." I said, "You did pray." He said, "Oh.." I said, "Want to pray more?" So I went back in, laid down next to him and he prayed this: "Thank you, God, for giving me good rest tonight and for giving me energy to play with Kaiden tomorrow. Amen." Kaiden is his new buddy in Nana's daycare... sooooo sweet!!

Easter - the real meaning

So after I got home from work, I sat down and read the Easter story from the Bible to Connor. He listened intently... I've read it to him before but tonight, he listened with a serious face :)

When I got to the part about how badly Jesus was treated, being arrested, made to carry the cross and then being nailed to it... Connor said "That's not nice!!"

And then, oh his prayers! I love love love his prayers! They are sometimes cute, sometimes serious but always honest & sincere. Tonight he said, "Thank you, God, that we are people" and then "Thank you, God, for taking my headache away." Love that he is thanking Him in advance.. before the headache is gone, he believes in His power to make it better. :)
