Kids say the darnedest things

Me: I'm sorry you were left at the table alone.  I thought Daddy was coming back (I had gone to bathe Lily).  Were you lonely?

Nathaniel: No.  I have Jesus with me in my heart, so I wasn't lonely.

Lily came into our room one morning and found Aaron and I still in bed (N had opened the gate).

She said to Aaron, "Hey!  That's my spot!  What are you doing in my spot?"

Me: I picked up something for you at the store today.
Nathaniel: Oh, what is it?!?
Me: A puzzle book!
Nathaniel: Oh, I was hoping it was an iPad.

Nathaniel wants to be hang glider when he grows up (close second was race car driver.). Lily wants to be "super pants". 

Lily: Bubby, do you want to drink some of my mommy milk?  

Nathaniel:  But you don't have mommy milk.  Your chest is too small.  Only big mommys have mommy milk.

Thank goodness for the voice of reason from our 5-year-old!  That could have made for some awkward memories.

Nathaniel: I figured out the difference between mommys and daddys.  Mommys hatch the babies, and they have mommy milk in their chests.

Aaron: lily, do you see the moon?

Lily: yeah, it's missing a piece.

Aaron: that's called a crescent moon.

Lily: it's a banana moon.  Ba-na-na moon-y.  Ba-na-na moon-y!

After a difficult start yesterday, when the morning felt long while my patience ran short, today God showed me a glimpse of His beautiful grace.  From the backseat out of the blue, Nathaniel said, "Mommy, I like it when you stay home."  When I asked why he said, "I like when you play with me."  Made my day.  To be clear, he also says he likes playing with Daddy, Jonathan, and Jackson better, but he also likes playing with me :)
