Something to "chew" on

Hunter and Jayden were outside playing in our front yard and GG was watching from the window. I went downstairs to get Sophia up from her nap. When I got upstairs I looked out the window and Jayden was sitting on the front sidewalk and there was a bit yellow spot on her brand new shorts!!! I knocked on the window and motioned for her to come in. A few minutes later she opens the door “What?” I repeated “Please come here.” “Why? Why? Why?...” Right before she emerges around the corner holding the leg of her pants so the spots are hidden, she asks “Am I in trouble?” I started “Gum belongs…” she finished (a little bit too happy) “in your mouth!” I asked her why she took the gum out of her mouth and her reply was a simple “Cause it’s play gum.” So I guess you can take play gum out of your mouth but not regular chewing gum. She said she was trying to get the dirt off of it. Oh the joys of motherhood.

Jayden's Prayers

Jayden had been going through a faze (hopefully) about a dead boy. His name is Jacob. "Jacob is dead." That is how this started. Then is progressed to when she say's the blessing on the food, Jacob is always included. And when someone else is praying she inturrupts them to pray for Jacob. "Jacob is dead" is how it started. I have tried to ask her more questions to find out if this really happened or what. She had a new girl in her Primary class so I tried to figure out maybe if she had a brother named Jacob that died. Maybe she just heard someone talking about it. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this sooner than later.

Shushing

At church today, during Sacrament, (quiet time) my 3yr old daughter was talking quite loudly. I had tried to shush her, several times. She started soft then got progressively louder. So I leaned over and told her that we needed to think about Jesus during Sacrament. She asks (loudly) "Where's Jesus? I don't see Jesus?" Again shushing, then I wispered to her that we are suppose to THINK about Jesus, we can't see him but you can feel him. Then she responded "I think he is in my throat." She felt him in her throat. haha.

Choir or Quarum?

I was reviewing my lesson for primary during Sacrament meeting @ church. I was suppose to share, w/the kids, counsil from the Prophet. I was thumbing through the Ensign (conference issue) and there were 2 full pages that had pictures and names of men on it. My 1st grade son asked who they were. I pointed to the words as he read "The quar dfkdskljdjv (mumble) of the 70." I pointed to the 2nd set of words, he read again "The 2nd quar m of the 70." Then it clicked and he said "Oh, they are the choir members."
He was talking about the choir members that had sung during the conference. But alas they were the Presidency and the 2 Quarum's of the Seventy.
