I was giving Hannah and Paul their baths and Hannah bumped her arm. I could tell it hurt, but she was being a big girl and not crying. I asked her if she had a bumpie on her arm. I was going to follow that with and offer to kiss it, but before I could continue she said,
“Maybe Jesus make it all better.” And she went on playing. Yes I think Jesus can make bumpies better a lot more than kisses can!

Paul was pretending to be blind one evening as I was putting him to bed. He said he was like Bartimaeus. I feel so rewarded when our kids come up with references to Bible stories we’ve read, and that was one we hadn’t read for a while. The stuff is going into the memory banks!

My sister-in-law and her family were coming and bringing supper on Saturday evening. She was bringing a casserole, and I told Paul & Hannah that as they started getting hungry close to supper time. Then, Andrew asked Paul,
“What’s a casserole?”
Paul: “It’s a kind of cake.”
Hannah: “Wait until New Year’s!” (That’s what we tell them when they want something special, like a new toy, and that’s what they also tell each other when they talk about things they want.)

Last evening, after giving the kids baths, they were playing in the living room. Out of the blue, Paul stated,
“Hannah has leprosy.”
Me: “What?”
Paul: “Hannah has leprosy.”
Me: “No, Hannah doesn’t have leprosy.”
Paul (evidently trying again): “Hannah has a skin disease.”
Me: “No, Hannah doesn’t have a skin disease.”
Paul (not giving up): “Hannah has bumpies.”
Me: “Yes, Hannah does have a bumpie.” So, he was trying to turn the fading scratch on her upper lip into leprosy? I guess that’s what we get for explaining to them that leprosy is a skin disease that is bumpies all over your skin.
And here are some pictures of the Tiny Talkers eating bananas like Mowgli in The Jungle Book movie. BTW, Paul goes around singing I’m the King of the Swingers and The Bare Necessities of Life. For the former, he is usually leaping and flying around on the couch while he sings it. We have some video footage of it!
Isn’t Hannah as cute as can be?
In some of the pictures you can
see her “leprous” scratch.
Here’s the King of the Swingers, VIP,
(aka Paul).
Doesn’t he have a great smile? I just
wish the shadow wasn’t there.
Our kids go bananas over bananas! (I think that’s because I don’t often buy them.) I got them some bananas instead of Valentine’s candy (and I got Andrew some apples).
The King of Swingers and the Bare Necessities!!!!! you’re kids are learning some gooooood songs!!! Some friends and I watched that movie one night not to long ago.
