Things I learned from Elijah

I am exhausted and ready for bed, but I had to write for a minute about the conversation I just had with Elijah.  I was about to get into bed when I heard him crying and went in to see what was wrong.  He told me he had a dream that someone came to the door for daddy and gave him a candy and when he ate it his beautiful brown eyes turned to orange eyes.  He was very upset about losing his brown eyes and decided a banana would help him feel better.

So, I got him a banana and he talked non stop while he ate it- here are the things he told me

1.  If you try to stand up a banana, it will just fall over

2.  It is weird that you say excuse me when you want to get past someone and when you toot.

3.  If someone puts you on top of a light, you should call for help.

4.  If you see a bad guy while you are on top of the light, you should throw a rock at him.

5.   You will know it is a bad guy because he will not smile at you.

6.  You should not take candy from a bad guy because it will make your eyeballs fall out and your mouth go away and your feet fall off.

And my favorite, when I told him he needed to go back to bed and that was going to sleep too- " Moms don't sleep during the night, they just work and work and work so they can play with their kids during the day."

I sure love this boy!
