Hopping Around

Grateful for these feet!
(explained below)

Ethan asked me, "Why do we have to have feet?"
I calmly replied, "How would you get around?"
His reply, "We could just hop!" He then proceeds to hop on his knees.
I questioned back, "What would we hop around on if we didn't have our feet OR knees?"
"Well," he said, "we would be like Veggie Tales."
To which I reply, "They just have bottoms."
So he tries to hop on his bottom.
"Hard, huh?" I asked him.
-- I do believe after trying out hopping on his bottom that he is grateful for his feet!

I am trying to teach Ethan some things, and by some of his replies, I know he is not the least bit interested. It is a learning game that can be done anytime, while on the road, eating, or playing, etc. Anyway, here are a couple of comments that left me with the realization that he doesn't care for learning right now! --

After playing a few minutes - "Can we be done now?"

Sitting at the dinner table he calmly asked me - "Can I please finish my lunch?"

Killer headache for me today (gone now!), so Shawn got lunch for the boys and as he was hurrying out the door he told Ethan to pray for mommy to get feeling better. Ethan said, "I don't want to pray too much!" -- I did hear him a few minutes later praying for me....probably because daddy said if he prayed and mommy got better she might take him outside!

Landon had his second nose bleed in less than 24 hours. He would throw up blood and whatever he had for the last meal he had just consumed, so today, here I am gagging along with him while trying to clean up. I was scared because he kept throwing up blood.
As you know, Landon says very little, but today he said a lot with only one word. While blood is pouring down his face, he asks, "Die?" Talk about scaring a mommy!

Morgan rolled over - and I missed it!
