Cuteness saving the day (or week)!

So this week hasn't gotten any better on many different levels, unfortunately. Our car is STILL sitting at the shop b/c we can't come to an agreement about repairs with Bill Smith Ford. That is for another post when I have more time. Graeme has gotten more oppositional and aggressive the last few months, but the last couple of weeks have topped them all. frown 95% of the time he is sweet, obedient, snugly, and compassionate. It is just the 5% of time that I want to pull my hair out! ha

So again this week, I have had to cling to the sweet/funny things they say and do to get me though the days!

*Caveat* Ceilidh LOVES all things snakes. I DO NOT know why. ha She is petrified of them, but is fascinated with learning all about them. We check out every snake book we can find and watch every National Geographic show we can. Most of the shows are about capturing/releasing them for research or relocation. It has been drilled into them to "run the other way" when we see snakes. Imagine my horror when we see the first snake of the season (dead on the road) and I ask Graeme:

Me: What do you do if you see a snake, Graeme?

G: Get a stick and FIGHTTTTT it!

Umm... wrong answer! No more National Geographic for you, mister! ha

These few weeks leading up to Easter; we are talking about the events that led up to the Crucifixion using our 5 senses. I have been really excited how into C and G have been. Anyway, we are having a pretty serious and sweet moment talking about the Garden of Gethsemane.

Me: What do you think Jesus heard in the Garden?

C: (sheepishly) His Daddy.

Me: That's great, Ceilidh! He did hear God. That is who he was talking to.

(More conversation about this and how Jesus is God, but also God's son. That is a tough one.)

C: I bet he heard something else too.

Me: Really, what else?

C: The disciples snoring!

We all busted out laughing! She is probably right. I love "seeing" their mind explore the bible and its truths!

And lastly, Jane would not be out done in the cuteness department! Jane gives a huge smile and throws those adorable chubby arms into the air for you to pick her up when you walk by the exersaucer! I love that she is "communicating" so much now.
