Wet Pants and Warm Days

Last Sunday morning in between church and Sunday school Alex had an "accident." I'll spare you all the details, but let's just say I was squealing in dismay at his bad aim....As I am looking at him in frustration and explaining to him how he can't go to Sunday school like that he so sweetly looks at me and says:

"Don't worry, Mom. It's a warm day. I'll dry."

Hard to argue with logic like that, eh? (Don't worry. I sent him to class in clean, dry pants.)

Music & Lyrics

If it wasn't obvious to the world, music is a huge part of life at the Cook household. Songs are always playing and we have fun previewing new worship music Seth gets in the mail, practicing and singing a lot of new songs. Well, Alex has become quite the singer lately. He memorizes songs incredibly quickly and is always singing something. The only issue is some of his lyrics are kind of questionable such as these lyrics to

"Silent at Night"
"Round yon verson, udder wind chime."

Or his favorite song from the Veggie Tales Christmas CD. You know, the song that's the example of what not to be like...

"Jingle, jingle, jingle POCHING!
Ya ya ya ya!
That's the sound of Christmas ti-ime!"
(The "POCHING" should be "ca-ching" Like a cash register noise)

See what I mean? Not exactly text book. This morning Alex was in washing his hands for breakfast and I heard this...

"O Santa!
O Saaaaaaaanta!
You are the God who saves us!
Worthy of all our praises."

I think we have some work to do theologically....

A Conversation

Alex: Mommy, you have a baby in your tummy?
Me: Yes, buddy.
Alex: The baby is growing bigger?
Me: Yes.
Alex: And then we're going to eat it?!?!
Me: No!!!! We don't eat babies!
Alex: Does the baby have a head?
Me: Yes, it has a head.
Alex: Does the baby have legs?
Me: Yes.
Alex: Does it have a shirt on?
Me: laughter
