Funny things Josiah says Part !

If you follow my facebook, you've probably read a few of the things my newly 3-year old says.  I took a little time to write a few of them down but wanted to make sure I keep better track of it.  The innocence of a child is so precious.  The constant need for a child to know the answers to "Why?", "How come?" and need to ask numerous questions is all a part of learning and a part of their development.  David and I make it a point to always answer those questions honestly.  This has been a challenge at times but as David says, it will be worth it in the end when he realizes that we always told him the truth, never lied to him --even when it hurt.  (hoping we don't have to answer some tough questions in the near future) 


With that, here are a few of his most recent sayings:
July 2011/26 months - me: Josiah, where did you get your intelligence from? mami or 
                                   papi?"
                                   Josiah: "God"\


January 2012/31 mos - So David and I were trying to figure out the cause of Daniels whining when
                                                Josiah holds his arms out and says "I think he wants me!!!" :) #precious


June 2012/37 months - while walking through a park we see a lady wearing a hijab "head
                                    scarf typical in Muslim culture" and Josiah points to her and states 
                                    "Mami, it's Mary!!"


                                   - David and I listening through the sound monitor to my 3-year old saying "Jesus,
                                               will you help me not be scared?" (as he lays in his bed) #melts #my #heart #prayer


                                                 - Mami, are you my best friend?   (me: of course I am), Josiah "no, but i'm your
                                                 little boy" 


July 2012//38 months - Josiah " Papi, did you kill Goliath?"
                                    David "".....this is the perfect opportunity to take credit like many
                                    fathers do (looking at me)......(turns to Josiah), no, Josiah, I did not kill 
                                    Goliath, that was another David"
                                    ...then David proceeded to remind Josiah about the story of David's love
                                    for God :) #saturdays #familydinner #conversation

It is early July and as tthe boys lay aslseep in their beds I reminisce on how fast this year has flown by.
Daniel will be turning 1 year old in just a few days, I remember walking at this time,,walking everywhere hoping to induce labor...tomorrow marks what would have been my due date, July 7th, or shall I say a year since.....how I remember those days walking in the heat along the rail trail just a mile from my house.

Also, 6 years ago this week, I met my husband......there was a Firework show tonite in Nutter Fort, WV where we were at for a worship-prayer night.  As David was leading in worship, I stood upstairs with the boys who were getting very tired...we had the perfect view from teh church 2nd floor window of a huge firework show that the city of Nutter Fort was putting on...eating grapes and goldfish crackers, I reminisced on how 6 years ago, under a firework lit sky I was secretly crushing on David :)
