Counting Friends

Tonight at dinner, Kyle was naming off his preschool friends.  With each friend, he put up one of his fingers.  After naming ten friends, he announced dejectedly, "There's some more, but I can't count them with my hands."  He had our whole family laughing.

More beautiful than...

On the way home from church last night, Evan asked me, "Do you want to hear more about Minecraft.

Tired of Minecraft talk, I told him, "I'd rather hear more about how lovely I am."

Evan melted my heart by saying, "You are more more beautiful than the clouds."

Kyle told me, "You are more beautiful than the leaves."

Finishing with a bang, Evan enthusiastically declared, "You are more beautiful than a man!"

Whales Don't

Kyle came into bed with us for a few minutes this morning.  We were tickling him, and he wanted Elbert to tickle his stuffed dog.

Elbert told Kyle, "Most doggies like their tummies rubbed."

Kyle responded, "But whales don't!"

This kid cracks me up!

Stained Glass Windows

We spent last evening at St. Andrew's Cathedral enjoying Nathan's choir concert.  The church has gorgeous stained glass windows all around the sanctuary.  After the sun had set, Kyle pointed at one window and whispered to me, "It's almost out of power!  I can't see it anymore."

First Exposure to Figure Skating

As Kyle and I watched some figure skating this morning, it was obvious that he usually watches a different sport on ice.  One of his first comments was, "She doesn't have a helmet!"

A little later, the commentator exclaimed, "She's on fire!"  Kyle responded indignantly, "She's not on fire!"

Asparagus

After eating his obligatory bite of asparagus at dinner, I told Kyle, "Someday you will like asparagus."

He looked at me with a gleam in his eye that only he can do and said, "Yes, when I'm taller than you."

What a goof!  He keeps us laughing.
