When Avers starts throwing a fit, I usually count down from three and if he doesn't stop, he will be corrected. We have also been counting on our hands, all of our fingers and he loves the number, 4. In fact, sometimes, he will even hold up our hands and say "four." He loves to count. :-)

The other day, he was throwing a fit and so I started correcting him, 3-2-1...He interrupted by holding up his little finger and yelling "4"! It was so cute, I had to giggle.

This week while Pa and Bebe and Great Nana were here, we were resting in the living room after a long fun day. We had just eaten supper and Daddy had been teaching Baby A to close his eyes while we prayed, by taking his 2 fingers and placing them over A's eyes.

So we are playing around on the couch and A all of sudden grabs my hand and places my fingers on his eyes. Then he waits a few seconds silently and say Amen! It was so precious.
May you truly understand the power of prayer, sweet boy.

My Nephew to his Mom: (Age 4)

Bruce, tonight at dinner: "GET ME SOME MORE MILK!"

Me: "Bruce Arthur, what in the world? We have manners!"

Bruce, smiling: "Mommy, that was imperative."

Me: "Oh! Umm, yes, you're right. Please say it in a more interrogative way?"

Bruce: " Please may I have some more milk? "

Phew. This kid keeps me on my toes every single day.

Ok, so I know I should not have laughed BUT when Avery walked out the back door of the church, the sun was bright and so he closed his eyes....AND kept walking, YEP! He walked right into the Modular Wall. It REALLY should have been on candid camera. He just kept walking and bang, right into the wall and fell over. It wasn't hard and I started giggling and then laughing and well he couldn't cry for long with mommy laughing the ways she was... he had to smile too! The people around must have thought that I got in a laughing spell at church cause I could NOT stop laughing. Poor bubbies, your mommy is mean but she loves you!
