Love

Yesterday I spoke in church.  On the way home, Xander says, "Mom, you did really good on your talk.  Do you know what your talk did to me? It put love in my heart!"

Best compliment ever.

I'm special

As I was putting Xander to bed tonight he said, "Mommy, you are so special.  Do you know why?"  I said, "No, why?"  He said, "Because I love you.  Mommies whose sons love them are special."


I am SO special.

Stretch Armstrong

Xander has been learning about the Apollo moon landings and he has recently learned to quote, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." 
John asked him who said that. He couldn't remember so he told him it was Neil Armstrong. He says, "Oh yeah! Wait. Doesn't he ride bikes now?"

Duh!

Sunday morning John woke up and said, "Man, my back hurts."  Alexander said, "That's because you're sleeping on springs! You need to be sleeping on a Sleep Number Bed."

Attitude.....

John discovered that the cat vomited on the basement floor. He asked Xander to clean it up. "I'm not touching that," Xander says.  John: "It's your pet, Xander. " Xander: "It's your family, Dad." 

Christmas Eve Prayer

Xander said the family prayer at bedtime on Christmas Eve.  He prayed, "Please help us to sleep well so that we can wake up regenerated."

“Mom, you know that rock in Reece’s yard?  Well, it’s an asteroid.  Do you know how I know?  Because I smelled it, and it smelled like outer space!”

I was getting Alexander to bed and said, “Go to sleep so you can wake up in the morning and be happy.”  Xander said, “Mom, happy is not my thing.”
