Funny Things

Doesn't Cecily look like she's wearing a bib? Or a tie-dyed shirt? Well, she's not. It's drool. and she also looks like she was stung by a bee or something, she's so puffy. Otherwise, I really do love this shot. Jocelyn has a fever, unbeknownst to us, which is probably why she's cuddling with Tyler.

During FHE one night I was teaching about the little children sitting at Jesus' feet. Jocelyn let us know that she did not want to sit on Jesus' lap. Surprised, we asked her why. She said, "Because I don't want to smell his breath." I don't know where that came from!!?!?! We reassured her that she'd probably would want to sit on his lap anyway, even if he did have bad breath.

When Samuel is in trouble Jocelyn's nose all of sudden turns "brown." Jocelyn, "Oh, Mommy, you're so beautiful", "I cleaned up like you asked me to", "You're the best mommy ever." Uh-huh Joc, you got a little shmootz on your nose. Actually, I think it's pretty funny.

Samuel is on a huge art kick lately. All year at preschool he would come home with notes from his friends with drawings, stories, messages handwritten by them. Samuel never once volunteered to return the favor to them. He has never been interested in coloring or drawing so much until he started watching Tyler play Final Fantasy XIII (13 now is it?). It's actually a decent game, fantasy fighting, no blood, a storyline, etc. Now he draws dragons, machines and other creatures that actually have faces and functions and color. It's been fun to watch. Here he is drawing during Tyler's FHE lesson. Surprisingly, and just like his father, he was listening just as if he weren't drawing. He can focus well. And he still sticks out his tongue when concentrating, just like my mom and just like her dad. Sorry for the blur, I took this while nursing and with my left hand. And I was never one gifted with coordination.
