Biblical Alexisms

I thought I would share some recent Alex stories. He keeps us on our toes, and in this particular area we are thrilled that he does.

He recently has been very into Bible stories. He has been wanting to hear them and has been asking a lot of questions. The other day I saw him lying over baby Aron and whispering to him. I couldn't hear what he was saying...but he ran his hands over the baby's face, jumped up and with a big smile said, "There mom, I have cured Aron!" Later that day he was talking to Aron again and the baby spit up. Alex looked very defeated. "Awe, man mom, Aron just puked. I guess I did not cure him. It wasn't a miracle afterall!" He really said, "afterall."

After church today he said, "Hey Dad you know that Jonah was eaten by a sperm whale?" Richard asked why he thought Jonah was eaten by that particular species. Alex answered, "Because the whale had teeth in the pictures, and other whales don't have teeth."

Recently he was trying to figure out the terms of his crimes and punishments...he said, "Mom I have to obey you and Dad, but you guys have to obey God."

I had lost my cool with the boys and after I had calmed down I went to Alex's room to apologize and to try and talk with him about the situation. I was explaining to him that there is only one mommy and that there are three little boys, and that I am alone and cannot do everything all at the same time. He just looked at me with a so what look and said, "Mom but you were not alone God is always with you!" Talk about bringing you a bit of perspective.
