forward thinking

B told lP "When dad dies we'll get to play his games all the time."  B says what he is thinking and sometimes it is funny but sometimes sad.  A while ago he said dad was so mad he might hit mom.  We both talked to him about how it is OK to be mad but not OK to hurt people.

Life is so confusing because so much of what children see is people hitting each other.  It is the point of a lot of the cartoons and books.  Violence is everywhere.  It is so sad.

On a happier note, B says he'll come visit me when he is grown up.  Maybe we'll even live in the same neighborhood and he'll take me out for dinner.  He told me so.

Embelishments

Driving home from Gtown today B said "I farted".
I thanked him for owning it.
Then the song "Only you" came on and B started embellishing the song.

Only You (farted)
You....(farted)
There's no one else that's just like you...

I told him to stop.  P said I should not encourage him to own it and then tell him to stop.  P didn't realize he was embellishing the song.  It was funny.

B and L are so close.  I'm so grateful for these little ones.  B is a reader!  He reads to me and L.  I love how B entertains and contains L.  During scripture and prayer B sits in the pillow pile and shows L stories.  It's so sweet.
