Chad (our 4 year old) did three of these yesterday that were worth posting.
1. We came home from church and Chad was holding a picture of Joseph Smith that he colored. Jeremy asked him what the picture was about. He then told Jeremy the story of Joseph when he was a boy and his leg was hurt. He told the whole story. We were so impressed that 1: he must have behaved well enough and 2: he listened to the story. We are so proud of him for being such a good boy in primary. And a huge thank you to his primary teachers. For all of the primary teachers out there reading this, kids really do listen and learn.
2. This is one I wish I had on our video camera. To help you visualize this better...Chad is sometimes hard to understand when he talks. To make things worse ever since Christmas his tonsills are huge (we have taken him in to see a specialist, he is not sick, she said this happens to kids sometimes and to keep an eye out on them, if they get bigger, or don't go down within the next year or so he will need them taken out) so....he has broken English and it sounds like he is talking with two marbles in the back of his throat.
Ok....Chad found this on my kitchen floor:
It is part of a chain off of one of my necklaces that broke.
He picked it up, looked at it and brought it over to me.
Chad: Mama, look, iz a lil' leash....(pause)...for a mouse.
Me & Jeremy: Laugh, Laugh, Laugh
He really thought that's what it was, and you can see why. I laid in bed last night and every time I thought about it I laughed.
3. I was getting ready to get into bed last night and saw this on Jeremy's pillow.
This must have been made in primary. To think that he remembered what his primary teachers must have told him, and did it hours later...and then checked to see if dad noticed it this morning makes us as parents smile!

You have such sweet boys...hopefully it can last, huh? Jeremy is a great example, though! Hope you guys are well! :]
The mouse leash is so cute! Kids can say just the cutest things - so innocent and sincere.
Oh cute Chadders. That's so great what he's learning in primary! And the mouse lease is classic! He was probably thinking about Jerry:) I wish I could hear his cute voice!
Wyatt did that to my pillow too!! It was so sweet. It is amazing that they did listen to their teachers. Wyatt retold the Joseph Smith story too. I guess they do get things out of church, we just don't think they do.
