Mary's Secret Life

                                        Out of the blue at breakfast; "Mary drives the car at night." 

Santa

Christian was in a particularly bad mood today. Mom was telling him we could go to the park to see Santa tonight.
Christian: "I hate Santa."
Mom: "Why?!"
Christian: "He's scary!"
Mom: "Don't you want to tell him what you want for Christmas?"
Christian: "I want fireman boots. You can tell him."

We did get him to sit on Santa's lap. Unfortunately, Santa was a little hard of hearing.
Santa: "You want farmer boots? That's a good profession."
Luckily, Santa figured it out.

Kate and Christian

Christian is obsessed with Kate Davis down the street. One Sunday, he saw her going into Nursery and ran frantically after her. When she went in without him, he collapsed in a heap on the flour and sobbed that "He didn't want to go in there" because he couldn't "hold hands with Kate." The Nursery leader, figuring it out, brought Kate in and he cheered up instantly. Then the two of them walked into Nursery together, hand in hand.

In another Nursery story, a leader was giving a lesson to some of the kids on how Jesus loved them. She went around and asked each child who loved them. When she got around to Kate, Kate calmly replied, "Christian loves me."

 Our mouse

We are so happy that Christian has been part of our family for three years now! Life just wouldn't be the same without him in our home. He makes our lives exciting, and we never know what he'll come up with next. We love to laugh at the funny things he says, the discoveries he makes, and the little cute things he does every day. Though he can be quite the pill, we love his happy, fun-loving personality.
