Get Some Sleep Already

Last night we were trying to get Maddie to sleep. At the time she was playing doctor with her fake stethascope and ear examiner. We asked her if she wanted to go to sleep and her reply was, "Doctors don't sleep." Very true, very true.

Maddie's Insight of the Day

While my daughter was being reprimanded by my wife, Renee, my wife was asking her if she had done something and my daughter refused to answer. My wife then said, "answer me with yes or no," and my daughter answered her, "yes or no." Now, technically my daughter was correct with her answer to my wife, but obviously my wife was looking for one answer or the other. Needless to say, in a moment when we were supposed to be serious and teaching her a lesson, I broke out in laughter, which will probably lead to her doing drugs or something bad like that when she's a teenager.

Maddie's Insight of the Day

While walking past a fountain my 2 1/2 year old daughter pointed out to my wife: "Jesus can walk on water." My wife exclaimed, "That's right." Maddie then said, "I cannot walk on water."

The rest of the conversation included my wife explaining to Maddie why that is, but from my perspective my 2 1/2 year old daughter profoundly exclaimed in as few words the message of how awesome the Gospel is. She has humbly realized already how awesome Jesus was, which is more then what many adults in this world can realize. I guess all I can say is that she is a genius.

Maddie's Quote of the Day

As you parents out there will know, sometimes your kids say the darndest things (right Bill Cosby?), so as a part of this blog I will keep you all up to date with some of the wisdom that my kids share with us, right now actually only Maddie is speaking so until otherwise noted this is just Maddie talking.

When asked tonight who was God's son, Maddie replied "baby." Technically the answer is not wrong as Jesus was a baby, so we gave her the benefit of the doubt.
