The cute things he says

On Saturday, after reading Bridget's blog, I told Lane that she got an i phone for Nathan's birthday.  Then yesterday out of the blue Riley asked how old 'Ethan's Dad' was.  I said I didn't know.  Lane told him he was probably about 30 something and then said, "he's older than me."  

Riley was so confused.  "But your taller than him!"

So we tried to explain to them that just because someone's taller doesn't mean they're older.  Lane told him that one day he might even be taller than he is.  Or maybe Jeremy will be.  Who knows maybe Tyler will be taller than all of us.  You never know.  The conversation went on for quite a while.  

Then Jeremy exclaims, "I'll grow up to be a Dad and then I'll say 'Dad I'm bigger than you!"

Thinking about how cute Jeremy is, and the cute things he says, I remembered one of his prayers.  I would say it was about a year ago.  I don't know if I blogged about it, if I did, sorry for the repeat.  He was blessing the food and wanted help that time.  Instead of repeating bless the food so that it will strengthen our bodies, he said,
"please bless the food to strengthen our bottoms."

It just made me laugh remembering that and I had to share.

That is very cute. I can see how age and height would be confusing for little kids.

it's so funny how their little minds work and how they try to figure life out. Too funny about the prayer that put a smile on my face too

Liv often tells us she is going to grow up and be as tall as Ry so she can be Livvy Incredible. Don't you love kids prayers? They say such funny things. Now if I could just get her to hold still while she prays instead of walking all around blessing whatever she sees!!
