Kids do and say funny things. When they do something memorable, we laugh and think we'll remember the story. News flash - we don't. I wish I'd written down more of my kid's funny stories from when they were small. You might want to keep a notebook just to jot down the silly and crazy things they say and do...makes good blackmail material too later on! :)
For a very short time, I did that and here's an example, dated April 16, 19**. The daughter in the story was three at the time. "We were driving down the highway, past a field that had become a large pond because of heavy rains recently. As we drove past, M said excitedly, 'There's a cute daddy and mommy in the pond!' Because I was driving and couldn't look to see, I asked, "What are they doing?" Her response startled me. 'Taking a bath!'. It took me a few seconds to realize that what she had seen were cute daddy and mommy...ducks."
Another one, December 13, 19**. "After a 24 hour power outage, the lights went back on. K (age three) noticed the light on in her room. She came running out and said, 'Oh wow! The power of God turned on the light!'"
I love my kids!
