Sweet Things My Sweet Boy Says...

As I have mentioned before, I want to write Children's books. I have always had the desire. But, I never knew how much having children would just strengthen that desire! Man, the Lord uses my kids to inspire me with book ideas all the time. Below you'll see some of the silly, fun, loving, and smart things Evod has said. (Avnielle obviously inspires me too, but her talking is still limited---but she's getting there!)


"Mama, the garbage truck is too stinky for you - it's too stinky."

"Mama has a butt too!"

When Evod was just learning how to go to the restroom in the big boy toilet, one day he looked down and said, "Seahorse poopoo, Mama! Seahorse!" Then he passed gas and said, "Noisy seahorse." 
(When it came time to flush--- I noticed that it did, in fact, look like a seahorse. I know this one's kinda gross, but I'm a mama!)

"That Harley motorcycle is going East, Mama." (It really was)

"That's a compost, Mama" (compost?)

"That's a smart motorcycle man. He has his helmet on, yeah. He's a safe rider, Mama, yeah?"

"Can Jesus tickle my back, Mama?"

"That's a hexagon, Mama. A Hexagon, yeah." (He was right and I was amazed.)

We were going to cross the street when I noticed a vehicle so I asked Evod, "Do you see any cars coming?" 
He said, "no." I asked, "You don't? You sure?"  He said, "Yeah. I see a truck."  (He wasn't trying to be a smarty pants)

"Avnielle, you can't push the Spider Man table, nope. You can puuuush, the dump truck. You can puuuush the fire truck. You can puuuush the race car. Okay?"

"Avnielle is beautiful, yeah."

"Mama, did you hear the siren? We gotta pray, yeah?" (We have the habit of praying when we hear the siren of rescue vehicles)

"Avnielle, do you want to take a bath? And, I'll wash your hair, your ears, your shoulders, your cheeks, and your...." (the list was long)

I put Evod's hat on and he said, "Umm. I need to see, Mama" I looked and his winter hat was backwards and covering his eyes and nose. 

"Jesus, please help mama to feel better. Amen"

"Mama, are gonna read Psalm 16, yeah?"
