Toddler Talk

One night we were reading Ruthie's princess book before bedtime. As we read about Cinderella, the last page showed her as she ran, left her shoe, and the Prince found it. I then explained how he tried to find her to give it back...

RJ: Why?
Me: Well, because the Prince wanted to marry her.
RJ: Why?
Me: Because he loves her.
Rj: Why?
Me: I don't know...
       But, do you think some day you will get married? (curious as to what her response would be and diverting her from the WHY question...)
RJ: Yes...
Me: To who? Who will you marry?
RJ: Ummmm.......Mary...
      Joseph! and Baby Jesus!

She's just to funny. And, what a sweet memory she has!

We were at Wal-mart paying for our groceries when Ruthie Jane stopped dead in her tracks, smiled real big, and opened her mouth in utter surprise...

She saw a man with a white beard sitting on a bench near the door.
She whispered, "Santa Claus."

 Our cashier just about lost it with laughter.
In reality he was just an old man who worked for Jackson Hewitt tax service.

The Preacher Man had an upset stomach all day last week. I explained to Ruthie that daddy was sick, his tummy hurt.
Later that day Ruthie Jane was running through the house as fast as she could as we played the "chase game." As she rounded the corner she slipped and began to cry because she hurt her foot. I ran to her...

Me: Awww, baby are you ok?
       What hurts?
RJ: (sniff sniff) Daddy's tummy.
Me: (holding in my explosive laughter)
       Noooo....what hurts on you!!

That girl is just too sweet for her own good!

Happy Monday!
