Drew Funnies!:)

(Not the greatest picture of him, but one of the only ones that I have recently)

I LOVE 3 years old. They say the greatest things!  Drew has grown up so much over the last few months. He says things every day that just make me laugh. I had to share a few!:) 

• Last week, Maddy was at school and Jack was taking a nap. So, I made hot chocolate with LOTS of marshmallows (per Drew's request).  I always enjoy drinking a cup of hot chocolate with him and letting him talk.  For a 3 year old, he has so much to say.  Well, he had finished his hot chocolate and asked for some more.  And I told him that he had enough so, he started talking again.  While he was talking I noticed him slowly reach over to my cup and about to take a sip of my hot chocolate.  I was going to let him take an extra sip when he stopped and said "OH NO!"  I asked him what was wrong and he said, "Oh no, mom. I was about to covet......your hot chocolate."  I've been teaching Maddy the 10 commandments. I loved that Drew picked up on what covet meant!
  
• Last night as we were putting the kids in bed, I asked who wants to pray first and Drew screamed "I will".  So, I said he could start.  And then he said, "Nevermind, I want to be last because the last will be the first in heaven". EVERYTHING is a contest with a 3 year old....but this has to be one of the most creative ways to be "first" for a 3 year old!:) I guess we all should have childlike faith!:)  
• In the car Drew started talking about heaven and that he wanted to go there.  And I replied back "I can't wait to go to heaven, too"  And he responded back "But, mommy, I would miss you so much."  Oh, my heart sank and my eyes got a little "wet" thinking about how sweet my 3 year old boy is.  :)
• Today in the car, Drew asked "Mommy, why do I keep growing?"  And I replied, "Because you are still a child and you will keep growing until you are a teenager."  And he replied, "Well, mommy are you going to keep growing?"  Oh I only wish:)  I simply answered, "No, mommy is done growing" and he replied "But you are still little". Thanks, Drew, for stating the obvious! I have been aware of my vertical challenge since I was your age!:)  Thanks for being honest!:)
