Many, Many, MANY, times over the past two years...
Mom: Jon, we REALLY need to cut your hair.
Jon: No.
Mom: But it's so BIG.
Jon: I like it.
Mom: But you look like no one takes care of you!
Jon: Don't care.
Two days ago...
Mom: Baby David, you need a haircut.
Jon: NO!!!
Mom: But it's all uneven and it's getting into his ears.
Jon: Can I sacrifice David?
Mom: WHAT??? NO you CAN'T sacrifice David!!!
Jon: I mean, I'll let you cut MY hair in HIS place...
Mom: Oh, you mean can you sacrifice yourself FOR David?
Jon: Yeah.
Mom: (heart melted on the spot...)
Last Week while I was singing along with David's "Signing Time" video...
Jon: Mom, why do you say you could never do American Idol when you really could?
Mom: Jon, Simon would say, "Why are you wasting my time???" (in my best british accent)
Jon: (giggling) But what would PAULA say, she's the nice one?
Mom: Paula would say, "But you look so pretty!"
Jon: (explodes into a belly laughing fit and can't speak any more!)
After church a few weeks ago...
Benji: In Sunday School, they asked us what we were most looking forward to in heaven, and I was the only one who thought of this...I will be able to FLY!!!
Mom: Yes, that will be fun. Jon, what did you answer?
Jon: I didn't, I was too shy.
Mom: Well, what WOULD you have answered if you weren't so shy?
Jon: I can't wait to see our babies that went to heaven.
Mom: (no words...just a VERY full heart...)
Last Saturday after I returned from a day long trip with my mom and sisters...
Jon: Daddy got mad at his cell phone.
Mom: He did?
Jon: Yeah, it kept shutting off on him, so he threw it on the couch, and he said if it did it again, he was going to throw it in the trash!
Mom: Oh...
...then after church the next day...
Jon: Do you know what I prayed for in church today?
Mom: No, what?
Jon: Your kidneys, our babies, and Daddy's phone!
Mom: (laughing hysterically that Jonathan ranks my kidney disease, and losing our babies right up there with Dad's cell phone issues!)
