Rocket’s Pad

Danny was talking to me about his good friend Emmer: Mom, I realised that in all the time I’ve known Emmer I’ve never asked him if he believes in Jesus.

Me: Oh he does, sweetheart, his family are missionaries too.

Danny: Well, Mom, I’d better check with him, just to make sure he really knows.

So the next day…

Danny: Emmer, did you know that God’s love is just like numbers, it just goes on and on and on and never stops? Can you believe that!

Emmer: Oh yeah I know, it’s like a rocket ship, it goes to outer space and keeps on going.

Danny: Oh yeah, Emmer, it’s like a time machine, it goes forwards and backwards.

Emmer: Oh yeah, Danny, it’s like bigger than all the oceans and lands.

Danny: Oh good, I’m glad you already know that.

Emmer: Danny, I’m already 5 years old.

We’re all very excited about Kenji & Angel’s upcoming marriage (wedding will be next year). I’ve been surprised how interested Danny is and how many ideas and questions he’s had regarding it.

“So do you guys think I can wear one of those really handsome suits (tuxedos) or do I have to wear a bear costume? (He’s going to be the ringbearer) Cuz I think I’d look so much better in one of those black suits. You know, Kenji should really wear one too if he wants to look handsome. But Jer, you see, Jer could just wear a different color suit so people don’t mix them up. Wouldn’t it be funny if Angel accidently married Jer instead of Kenji, then she would be, like, Jer what are you doing in my apartment?”

On another topic he was worried that he’s a bit smaller than his friend Emmer who’s one month younger.

“Mom, are you sure I’m older than Emmer because he’s bigger than me?”

“Yes, honey, look at Dad, he’s smaller than Kenji & Jer but he’s older.”

“Yeah Mom, but Dad is so much stronger than them, he could just pick them up.”

Danny was sitting in the back seat of the car deep in thot with a big smile on his face. When Paula asked him what he was thinking about he said, “You know what’s so funny? Jesus was watching over Mary & Joseph when they were babies.”

Now that’s a thot!

While cleaning the house Carly followed me around room to room to get help with multiple Polly Pocket dress changes. She finally settled on the pink ball gown. Trying to feign motherly interest in her game I asked her if her doll was going to a party. “No, Mommy, she’s going to Bethlehem in a carriage with Prince Charming and when she gets there she’s going to have baby Jesus.”

Danny loves to talk while we’re on long car rides. This is a jewel from one of our conversations today..

“It must have been hard for Edison to make a lightbulb while he was working the dark.”

You know, I never thot of that.

This site has been experiencing technical difficulties - mostly because anything technical is difficult for me but thankfully we’re back online again.

Danny introduced me to a new word today…

Danny: Mom, you wanna learn a new word?

Me: Sure, honey.

Danny: Humongousible! It’s when something’s even bigger than humongous. Like, you could use it for a really big T. rex that was even bigger than a humongous T. rex. I made it up myself. Who made up all the other words?

Carly had an accident in her pants and I was trying to encourage her to use the potty. “Carly, you know princesses don’t go poop in their pants, they always use the potty.” Then Danny piped in, “You know Mom, I’ve read some books about princesses and I never saw anything about them going poop, I don’t think princesses go poop at all.”

Danny informed us today, “You know after thinking about it I don’t want to be a fireman anymore I want to be a garbage man because they drive bigger trucks.”

Danny ran up to me the other day, “Mom, can you draw a picture of a Great White shark for me to color?”

Sure, honey.

But, Mom, make sure to keep your eyes closed while you are drawing it because it’s supposed to be a surprize for you.

Danny’s been so excited to be a part of the gift giving this year. He’s had all kinds of gift ideas… “Well I’d really like to buy Auntie Cassie a nice big house but the only problem is I don’t know where the house store is.” I tried to explain the house buying process in preschool terms. But later when giving Auntie Cassie the earrings we had bought her instead Danny told her, “Cassie, I wanted to get you a different present but Mommy said we didn’t have enough money and I don’t think she knows where the store is either.”
