comments from j, today

To me:
Mama, I love you so much. I just wish I could care about you.

To Matt (while playing horse on Matt's stomach):
This game of lumpy horse is so much fun!

never can catch a break

Mama, I feel hors-ble today. And I had a bad, bad nap.

the beyond

Mama, are there bad guys with God?

No. Everyone with God is good.

But there are bad guys here...

Yes. Sometimes people make bad choices on earth.

But why?

I don't know. That's why we have the freedom to make choices. So we can learn from them. I'd rather make kind and loving choices. What about you?

Well I'm going to be a policeman so I can stop the bad guys. But one day a bad guy got up into Heaven. And he got near God. God had to stop him. So He put him in jail.

awwww

I took the time to "do" J's hair today. This involves blow-drying it so that the front sticks up. It's adorable. He's adorable all the time. But this is just...different somehow.

I just asked him "how'd you get to be so cute?"

God.

are you ok?

Matt: [sneeze]

O: Da-da? 'K? Da-da....'k?

Yeah, buddy. I'm ok.

Here da-da. Noh. (nose) Here, da-da. 'K? [hands Matt tissue]

learn to deal with it

Matt is taking an antibiotic that leaves a gross taste in his mouth. Last night, he was groaning about the taste and J overheard it.

Daddy, just don't complain. If you stop complaining, it will just taste better.
