It's that time again...I have a full page of cute kids' quotes hanging on my fridge and would like to share them with you. Rus is entering a more thoughtful stage and is coming out with less funny quotes than before; however, I still find myself jotting down some of his 5 year old expressions of sweetness...
About his new, baby sister (Filia), Rus observed, "She is almost as pretty as Stella." On another occasion, he exclaimed, "She is as beautiful as a helicopter!"
"Sissy is a beautiful roommate."
"I know why Filia can't talk. It's because she doesn't have any teeth!"
"Filia is my little friend. She is my little peanut!"
"Don't tell Filia about Santa Claus because it will make her sad and hurt her feelings."
"Grandma, I wasn't happy when I was born because Daddy was still in high school (he meant college), and only Mom was a grownup and had to work for us."
"My brother has a kiddish name, but Mom has a womanish name."
"Uh-huh is just the old fashioned way to say 'yes.'"
"Mom, your dinner is like a party in my mouth."
Rus is growing in his understanding of basic theology. I love hearing his sweet insights during our Bible times. We enjoy reciting the Children's Catechism together, and I'm encouraged by how well he applies these truths to every day life; however, he still gets a bit muddled at times.
For instance, he stated quite dogmatically, "The Bible said that children must worship their parents."
When we were discussing the 10 Commandments, I asked Rus if there was anyone/anything he might be tempted to love and worship more than God, and he answered without hesitation, "Baby Filia."
When we talked about what it means to not commit adultery, Rus said, "When I'm Dad's age, I'm going to marry "R" (his sweet friend from Kindergarten) because I can't stop loving her! I wonder why I can't stop loving her? She's the one I've chosen to be my wife because she is very patient and quiet during class time." He also said, "I would NEVER break my promise to "R." She is my best friend, and I love her!"
"Mom, I want to go to Disney World to refresh my memory of when I was a baby."
"On some insects there's a distinction with legs and feelers."
Referring to a special outing when we bought T-ball stuff, Rus said, "Mom, I had a nice time with you today. Maybe I'll never forget that time." :)
Tert is becoming our resident comedian - a perpetual source of laughter for his parents and siblings.
Whenever Tert notices that I am tired or becoming discouraged, he immediately starts imitating his daddy's tone of voice. For instance, if I say that I sure could use a nap, he'll say, "Well, then get some rest, Sweetie!"
On another occasion... "You didn't wash my blanket?! Well, then WASH it, Sweetie!"
The other day, I was relishing a few uninterrupted moments to get ready in the bathroom. Tert, my only son who is NOT potty trained, began to bang loudly on the door, calling, "Can you speed it up?!"
Tert, who has informed us that he wants to be a trumpet when he grows up, has been known to blast out some shocking statements...
He particularly struggles with the forbidden phrase "shut up," and will craftily weave it into every day conversation. Then he'll remind himself, "I NOT need say "shut up." Occasionally, he'll settle with a "SHUT DOWN!"
From the potty chair..."Hey, Sissy...Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ...SHUCK (shut) UP!"
"This fridge is SELFISH! I can't find my drink!"
"You're distracting my feelings!!"
"Quiet, Leo!! No more eruptions!!!"
After his baby sister's immunization, he announced, "I need tell Daddy that the nurses did SHOOT our baby!"
"Daddy, I broke your cup. It was your AWESOME cup."
"My sicky (sippy) cup SUCKS!" (referring to the air escaping from the nozzle on his sippy cup)
"Hey, Daddy! Come look at Mommy's big bum!"
"Mama, I want to whistle (whisper) something in your ear."
"I'm sorry to bover (bother) you, Mama, but may I shoot Lydia?" (with a Nerf dart, of course)
"I love you cross my heart!"
