My second son amazes me, cracks me up and sometimes totally frustrates me for as straightforward as James is, Christopher is complex. I adore him for that because I never know what's going on in his precious little head. I absolutely never know what to expect next. Christopher loves to take things apart. Partly to see how they work and partly because he loves to destroy them. Last weekend he announced he was making a museum of his parts. How cute, I thought, until I saw it. He found various containers for his parts and he made explanatory signs. The signs labeled each item and explained what it had done in its previous life. Amazing! He told me he was working toward a world renowned museum.
He continues to ponder his future frequently.....college, what will he do when he grows up, what he will be doing when Jesus returns ("if, Mommy, I'm alive), and how to know who you're supposed to marry. What?! I remind him he has a lot of time to think on such things.
That precious little head holds so many deep thoughts. What an amazing gift he is.
Rob's daughter, Audrey, recently told her mommy that it would have been okay if she died [when she fell off the pier fishing] because then she would be with God and could see what color his hair was. This was not long after an episode of
ReplyDelete"you can't stay home alone while I go to Wal Mart" [mommy]
"I won't be alone, God will be with me" [audrey]
"here, baby, sing this song" [mommy turning on car radio]
Of course, i'm somewhat paraphrasing, but not by much. you can probably see the real story at The Faircloth Family link on my site.
Anyway, they are always thinking, aren't they?
