a little nugget

Tonight we got home to a delightful bit of news from the babysitter.... What Calvin said :

• when asked what he wanted to be when he grows up, he gave it some thought, and then said, "I want to be a daddy, and do the things that daddys do."
• he loves being tickled as he goes to sleep, and the babysitter commented on how soft his skin is. His response? "Ah, that's because there's no friction!" he said. (He's been studying friction at school).

always nice to have something to smile about

when I'm big...

an afternoon with Calvin's godparents

We're walking home from school today and Calvin declares, "When I'm big I'm going to be an artist..." and then after a short consideration, "or an astronaut".
To which Zack replied, "I'm going to be a scientist."

that's that then.

Zack says

"Mommy. I am training Daddy how to make porridge".
(Keith made porridge for him on Tuesday which he didn't like)

"How old is God?"
(on Sunday in church)
