As she was reading her bible one evening she said, “… and Jesus was all alone in Jesus-land.”
She talks about dying and going to Heaven a lot. Although the topic of death is a bit morbid, I love hearing her talk about living with Jesus forever. She has decided that maybe he’ll call us all home together so none of our family will be left behind. She did tell me that if she got there first she would not be waiting around on me – Jesus would be throwing her a party and she couldn’t wait until I got there to go!
She also told us she didn’t want to eat only fish when we got to heaven; she was sad that she couldn’t eat macaroni and cheese, ice cream and goldfish. When I asked her why she thought she could only eat fish she said, “Jesus is ALWAYS eating fish in the Bible.”
After hearing about Jesus’ crucifixion at church: “Mommy, why would they want to kill baby Jesus?” Clearly we need to talk about the fact that he grew up!
She & Josh were playing outside and watching the moon. Josh asked her if she wanted to go there one day. She told him yes and was asking questions about how to get there and what to do there. She asked him what would do if there were strangers in the moon. Fast forward a few days and we’re watching How to Train Your Dragon when the Dreamworks logo rolls on by with the boy fishing from the moon. Ella squeals, “See Daddy. I told you there were strangers in the moon!”
While wearing her Olivia costume: I was asking her to do something for me and I overheard her say, “Rule of life number 3: Mothers are difficult.” {if you have EVER watched or read Olivia the Pig, you will understand just how adorable this is}
While I was pregnant: “How come I can’t come to work with you and Sophie gets to go everyday?”
To Sophie, immediately following a feeding session: “I’m sorry, Sophie, I don’t have any boobies!”
When I told Ella that we needed to be quick in Target because Sophie might get hungry she said, “Daddy can just pull up his shirt and give her lunch.”
A conversation after nap:
E: “Mom, I love her. She’s beautiful. Jesus solved the problem.”
M: “What do you mean? What did Jesus do?”
E: “He gave us a baby… I’ve been begging for weeks!”
