They are growing TOO fast

Nov 11 2013

Sometimes you can just look at your children and think where did the time go.  I suddenly feel sad, but  priviledged to watch them grow at the same time.  

Things this 4 year old is saying lately:

"I'm gonna have to tell Daddy the whole truth."  

(noah has recently started telling lies, knowingly, so we have spent lots of time talking about telling the whole truth all the time/ well this statement above comes when Momma has done something that Noah doesn't like and he feels he needs to tattle on me)

"It's all your fault."  

(this statement usually follows the above statement)

"I don't love you I love Daddy."

(and well noah and I are alot alike personality wise so we sometimes rub each other, Daddy and Noah are thick as thieves, and Noah's love switches to only love Daddy depending on how his 4 year old self feels that day) (I've learned to let it roll off, it usually only lasts about 2 minutes)

"Jesus says don't hit."

(after Noah got hit in face at school, we had to talk about what Jesus says about turning the other cheek, he gives me an update almost everyday he goes to school if he got hit that day and what he did/ walked away)

"I want to pray for my friend demish."
(a little boy named Demir is Noah's playmate at school, and Noah is so fond of him, he always wants to pray for him)

"Let me teach you how to pray Luke."
(At night before bed Luke has been wanting to say his own prayer after Daddy finishes, Noah helps by telling him some of the things to pray for:

Jesus

Thank you for this day

We love you

Amen)

"Thank you God that Daddy is with us so we can be a family."

(When Daddy got home, that night praying this is what Noah said

Luke is my little boy now, there are almost no traces of toddler much less baby left.  

He is my little parrot lately, and often tells me something "because" of something.  It's his new word.  He loves telling me he misses me, or daddy.  And sometimes asks me if I am sad, or "mad at him" (usually after he has disobeyed).  

He and Noah have super hero powers and often fly through the house.

Luke has surprised me with how he likes to just sit and paint or color.  I love this about him.  

So detailed

2 at once

I am blessed to be their Momma.
