From the 4-Year Old

I got my haircut tonight. I was hoping for something fun and new and different (but not too different!). It's cute. I'm happy with it. Much shorter. I love when she just takes the scissors to it at the very end and thins it out (since i have SO much hair. A shame i can't share with my hubby). But it's a cut i've had before. It gets in my eyes a lot. You'll see me wearing silly little girl clips in it. But it's a nice change.

Anywho. Got home from my haircut. I was standing in the kitchen making dinner and looked over at Bode who was looking at me as he said, "Mom. Why do you look like someone else's mom?"

And later he said the prayer. Child can't get enough of saying the prayer. Meals. Bedtime. You name it. It's great. It's a new thing. We used to not be able to get him to have anything to do with saying a prayer. So he was blessing the food for dinner and just rattled off a really lengthy prayer. I wish i could remember all of it. The usual "thank you for our blessings." Then, "Thank you for the new GeoTrax DVD. Thank you to bless the food. Thank you for the hot dogs. Thank you for the applesauce (i really overextended myself). Thank you that Dad gets home safely. Thank you that Dad can go to work and make lots of money. Thank you for the stars. Thank you for the moon. Thank you for the sea. Thank you for the whales. Thank you for the fish. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." i think there was one more sea creature in there. SO GREAT! These are not prompts i've given him. I loved it. Fun fun fun.
